How to Check if Your News Source is Biased

    In the last 10 years there seems to be a lot of new "news" sources out on the Internet. The internet has given anyone the ability to create a "news outlet" and call it that, even if all of the stories are based on someone's opinion. That goes for both the extreme right wing and left wings of politics.
   Recently a friend forwarded a story to me about dogs being "given" to Muslim nations, which I found hard to believe. Well, I decided to check the website, and it's considered "Extreme Right Wing." Which means it IS NOT a news site. Certainly not one to be trusted. (BTW, I'm not being partisan here- I also don't read left wing news, because it's also made up).
