Identify the kind of statement
A factual claim describes something that evidence could support or contradict. An opinion expresses a judgment, while promotion encourages a particular response. Words such as “best” or “trusted” need a stated basis before they become useful comparisons; their confident tone does not supply that basis.
Ask what the evidence establishes
A screenshot can show what appeared at one moment without establishing the whole story. A quoted announcement may omit conditions or come from an unclear source. Look for evidence that supports the precise claim, including its scope, rather than accepting a loosely related link as confirmation.
Watch for repetition without verification
The same announcement on several websites may have been copied from one place. Check dates and trace the wording back where possible. A new page title can surround an old claim, and a changed timestamp does not explain what was rechecked. Keep unresolved statements clearly separate from established information.
A quick checklist
- Label a statement as fact, opinion or promotion before judging it.
- Check whether the evidence supports the full claim.
- Trace repeated announcements rather than counting copies as confirmation.
