Check the date it was published. If it’s older than a week, be very wary.
Check the URL. If it says, “.com.co” at the end, you’re probably looking at a fake article.
Check if the article content matches the claim made in the headline. If it’s not adding up, the article is most likely fake.
These are all good ways to check an article’s credibility.
