As a consumer or targeted audience I find it extremely annoying to have to decipher the difference between what is "real" and what is "made up". The first step in deciding whether the news source is credible is to look at the URL. The URL is often misspelled or a slight parody of the words from a similar news source. The URL must also be from a credible site such as: .org, .edu, .gov, ect.
After passing all these obstacles you must face the difficulty of finding an unbiased article. If you search deep enough and follow the previous statements it should narrow your likeliness of finding a biased article.
News, you have to know what to look for or else its just a waste of time.
I like your take on this assignment. Most of the other blogs I read said something similar to what I said: that it's hard to find a source that's unbiased. But, you gave ways to finding credible sources. I like your tip about reading the URL for any misspelled words.
