I just read a post about fact checking. Need some advice.
Is there a fact checking site that resolves questions quickly?
Is it necessary to be a member? Which ones are the most reliable? I’ve found that when I go to sites, I’m either unable to ask the question, or, there is no answer. How am I to be accurate if I pose the question?

1. well, for starters....
I believe those post in question today is pretty easy to examine
it was a random twitter account (not a verified/blue check) and searching for keywords found NO other locations w/that news just have to use your google skills or search the social media sites and start looking at who's posting what. |

2. Thanks. That's what I've been doing for the most part.
I was trying to find a fast, quick way to save time.

4. Sometimes just a quick search, Google or DuckDuckGo or whatever
will give clues -- many times I've been about to post and did a quick search only to find links showing the info was not true. It's worth it. I feel really foolish when I realize I posted something that was not true.
