Heed the Presentation

One sign of fake news is heavy use of superfluous formatting, constant use of absolutist language and hyperbole, and obvious errors in spelling, syntax, punctuation, and grammar.

NEVER accept absolutism, EVER

Be wary if a story or social-media post claims to present a scientific finding or evidence that proves without a doubt that an ENTIRE PARADIGM should be completely discarded or overthrown!!! Science is an incremental search for truth that is open to uncertainty within reason and statistical bounds, and subject to change if warranted by evidence.

scientific papurs and storys from reputable news outlet, ar subject too careful copy-editing; many phake news sights, naught sew mutch
