Fakt oder Fake? Zum heutigen #InternationalFactCheckingDay geben wir euch Tipps, wie ihr in drei einfachen Schritten die Vertrauenswürdigkeit einer Information einschätzen könnt: 👇
Frage 1: Stimmt die Behauptung? Eine kurze Stichwortsuche im Internet hilft, um weitere Berichte zum Thema zu finden. Stimmen sie überein oder gibt es Abweichungen? Vielleicht findet ihr ja sogar einen #Faktencheck.
Frage 2: Noch unsicher? Dann fragt euch, woher die Information ursprünglich kommt. Etablierte Medien nennen fast immer ihre Quellen. Um welche Art von Quelle handelt es sich? Forschende, Behörden oder NGOs, die Statistiken erheben, schaffen ein Grundvertrauen in die Fakten.

It's #InternationalFactcheckingDay

We're also currently in a global crisis

So on our Patreon, @NataliaAntonova and @IwriteOK decided to provide some comic relief by discussing the funniest person we've ever fact-checked — Jacob Wohl

@NataliaAntonova @IwriteOK Jacob Wohl's failures as a grifter have not deterred him

He just keeps going

And going

@NataliaAntonova @IwriteOK @JaredHolt Don't get us wrong, the tenacity of Jacob Wohl's grift is also a sad commentary on how easily disinformation can become a career for some people — but Wohl is just comically bad at this stuff.

It's #InternationalFactCheckingDay, so I'm going to share with you my favourite fact check ever. It started on November 14th 2017 with this fateful tweet by @mod_russia
The Russian Ministry of Defence presented "irrefutable evidence" of the US helping ISIS so they could use ISIS to promote their interests in the Middle East. A serious charge, but I noticed something about this image. #InternationalFactCheckingDay
A very similar image had been used in this tweet two weeks earlier by a journalist claiming to show it was a Predator drone attacking an ISIS convoy, something I had dug into at the time. #InternationalFactCheckingDay
