60-SECOND SELF-CHECK
- Find a second sourceReal news gets reported by more than one credible outlet within hours. If only one obscure page has it, wait.
- Check the dateOld protest clips get recycled as 'today'. Look for the original upload date, weather, posters, and clothing.
- Reverse-search the imageScreenshot the frame → Google Lens / images.google.com. Recycled visuals collapse in one search.
- Read past the headlineManipulated stories put the lie in the headline and hide the truth in paragraph nine, or nowhere.
- Watch your angerContent engineered to make you furious in 5 seconds is engineered. Strong emotion is the #1 symptom of manipulation.
