You know, there is no such thing as “alternative facts.” If we ever feel absolutely certain about something, we can check ourselves now on the internet. Wikipedia tends not to be allowed as a source for research papers because it can be updated by anyone and can change often, but it can be a great place to start the thinking process, and then there are the professionals, including
– FactCheck.org
-TruthOrFiction.com
– PolitiFact.com
– Snopes.com
– Fact Check Explorer on Google
They may not all agree, so be sure to check at least two of them before claiming authority.
