Here's a great example of how to ID bad/manipulative sources. This is a tweet from the Hill posted at 11:13 AM EST today. https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1391410890260496386 Note how its intended to evoke the emotion of fear (of the rocket landing on you) and also outrage/anger at China (for being so careless). What's the one big thing the article is missing? https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-57045058 quote:The remains of a Chinese rocket that was hurtling back towards Earth have crashed into the Indian Ocean, the country's space agency says. The fact the rocket had already crashed safely in the Indian Ocean 12 hours earlier. They explicitly ignored what had already happened so they could fear-monger and get people to rage-click. This should be the prime example used of why The Hill is a very, very lovely source, to the point that I'd be in favor of banning posting their headlines/tweets entirely as they're explicitly designed to be misleading.
