.org doesn't mean credible
&gt; There are no hard and fast rules that will readily determine whether a website is credible. I think that teaching people that they can simply look for .org in the URL and immediately accept a website as credible can do more harm than good.<p>&gt; Instead, we should be providing everyone with the critical thinking tools they need to evaluate and assess sources themselves.<p>This kind of thinking is incredibly important. Many believe in only following one or two &quot;credible&quot; news sources instead of trying to get the point of view from a variety of outlets. Others like to block a list of websites which someone decided was fake news.<p>There is no easy way to determine what is true and what is false. In fact, most of the time there is no definite &quot;right&quot; and &quot;wrong&quot; - instead, both sides of an issue will have important pieces to consider. In fact, there&#x27;s hardly ever just two sides to an issue, rather, a wide range of opinions.<p>I was not taught this in school. I was taught to trust .org websites.
