Technology Tip:

I can not believe this, is this real?

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." 

~ Winston Churchill

With the internet it is possible for a lie to get all the way around the world many times before the truth is able to get released.  So how do you get the truth online?  How are you supposed to check the facts?

Below are some websites that can help you sort fact from fiction and outright lies:

For sorting through urban legends and dubious emails this website helps:  http://www.snopes.com/

This site is dedicated to stomping out “eRumors” that show up in your email:  http://www.truthorfiction.com/

If you are into politics and you prefer your facts with a specific political slant you might want to consider one of these two websites:

http://www.mediaresearch.org/  Fact checking with a conservative slant

http://mediamatters.org/  Fact checking with a liberal slant

Since most of these sites cater to adult audiences you might want to consider this website as a resource for students:  http://lii.org/
