Look for misspellings or typos, cross check information against other credible sources, look for dates and authors/ contributors.

On social media it's easy to tell if you look at the amount of likes and comments are under a post and how many followers or followings the person posting has. Online it's easy to tell if you have or haven't heard of the publisher or if they target very heavily on a specific topic that goes against others. Some good rules would be to check spelling, plug the URL into the bias website and compare with other articles relating to the topic.

Exacerbated headlines with lots of trigger words, outlandish claims that either seem to good to be true, or too bad to have possibly happened. Checking the sources that the article gets its information from, checking when the article was published, looking into other work that the article/writer has published, and making sure the person writing them can actually be reached.
