With all the information provided on the internet, it’s
difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction.
He works as a researcher at Indiana University where
he studies how political ideas are spread online.
Beware of dubious websites.
Search engines like Google do not know factors such
as “truth” or “reliability” when listing search results.
If you’re keen on reliability, why don’t you just look
it up in an encyclopaedia?
I did not really perceive this as relevant. I don’t think
it’s necessary for my argument.
I always restrict the search results to English
websites.
The author of this article is clearly biased. He’s got an
obvious leaning towards the political right.
This always used to be a respectable newspaper, but
it has lost its credibility lately.
I think that no newspaper is without political bias.
You should get suspicious if no author claims
responsibility for the contents of the website.
Even if you quote from a website, you have to cite
your exact source.
The site is listed in an English Literature directory, so
I think it’s a credible source to use.
His behaviour was outrageous. I felt really
embarrassed for him.

Using printed encyclopaedias has become outdated.
Nowadays people use Wikipedia.

She’s so gullible. She believes everything people tell
her.
When doing internet research, be sure to fact-check
all the information you get.
I was stupid enough to base my entire thesis on false
facts.
You have to hand in a diploma thesis at the end of
your studies.
Accuracy is the key to every good research paper.
You can be sued if you don’t quote your sources.

The classification of the collected data is essential for

I don’t like tabloids. They just publish too many
rubbish that’s not worthy of print.
The magazine’s emphasis is on entertainment and
revealing stories about celebrities.
If you want to know the current currency conversion
rate, just look it up on the internet.
Often the editorial is written by the publisher himself
and reflects the general opinion of the newspaper.
