There is fact and there is opinion, and the defining line between the two can become cloudy. Gather the facts, but draw your own conclusions. Government desires to influence public policy. Government sites will be politically correct, probably in line with the direction of the current administration. Government sites are good for statistics, surveys, and overall trends happening in society.
Organizations can be good, but biases are more inherent.
You should be able to discern the organization s stance on certain issues and take that into consideration when evaluating information from their sites. For example, if you are looking for information on abortions in the United States, you can be sure that the factual picture painted by Planned Parenthood will look quite different than that of a Pro-Life group s site. Any information coming from a person must be carefully evaluated. 3.Look for signs of credibility. Some of the best sites are run like a professional journal with peer review or an editorial board checking credentials and the content of contributors.
