One of the most unique aspects of the Internet is the fact that there is no one single entity controlling what is posted on web sites. While federal, state and local laws still apply to content posted on the Internet, that does not mean that everything you will read is true or reliable. Get a good idea as to the reputation of the individual or entity posting the information - if an individual posts a particular piece of information, yet this person is relatively unknown, there is a chance that the information is not true.

Typically news organizations are your most reliable sources of information online.
