What is lateral reading?
"Lateral reading helps you determine an author’s credibility, intent and biases by searching for articles on the same topic by other writers (to see how they are covering it) and for other articles by the author you’re checking on. That’s what professional fact-checkers do." (from Newslit.org)
What resources should I use to fact-check?
