How To Identify Fake News?

In this time, it is very difficult to identify fake news instantly without strong research.

People spread baseless information in an attempt to achieve a bad goal.
A recent example is about the origin of the Covid-19 and the 5G network.

Some people also use the names of prominent media companies to launch their fake websites or Facebook pages. You will see the names of newspapers you know but carry different logo and sometimes the names are written in an awkward way.
To identify a fake page on Social Media like Facebook and tweeter, always consider the contents and language used. Sometimes if the account is fake you will find the contents are not organized, no links and are full of grammatical errors.
Note, make sure you look for a blue verification tick which shows that the account is authentic like that of the BBC.
Examine a story before you believe it, not every story is true
