In a world overrun by fake news, an important question to ask yourself is who can I trust? I'm not the only one who feels this way: "people are increasingly challenged to find online sources they can trust." Regardless of what your favourite news source is, there's always someone telling you that it's fake news, and of course, you retaliate by telling them that their favourite news source is fake news. It's an endless battle of I know you are, but what am I? So how do we solve it?

With no solution in site, the only cure is "a very large dose of healthy skepticism." [1 picture, 1 link, 3 quotes, 138 words]
