This is completely different from using news or informational content distributed by wire services, which can usually be verified.

I do additional research to see if the story is true or even partially true. Sometime the news can tell some of the truth.A lot if people believe anything that the news tell them. In the small community that I live in, it's funny how fast "news" gets around.

I thought WebMD was a relatively reliable source of information until I found out that there have been questions regarding their recommendations or positive attitudes toward one medicine over the other and their sponsorship of the medicines WebMD deems "better".
