The SIFT approach, developed by Mike Caulfield, helps individuals critically assess the credibility of political information by following four steps: Stop, Investigate, Find, and Trace.
To evaluate political misinformation, one should not repost immediately but pause to consider the information's source, context, and potential biases behind its dissemination.
Credible news is often corroborated by multiple sources. If the information is valid, it will gain traction across various news outlets confirming its accuracy.
Extraordinary claims necessitate extraordinary evidence; therefore, verifying the source through tools like reverse image searches or original quotes is crucial for discerning truth.
