Checking Your Sources

Here is a way that lets you check whether a video is a hoax or not.
  1. Watch the video and listen carefully about the things the person says.
  2. Look for any signs of propaganda.
  3. Replay parts which you are unsure of or sound fishy.
  4. Ask yourself - Who wrote it? Why did they write it? When did they write it? Does it seem biased? Does the site achieve its aims?
  5. If those things are not provided or unclear, check the information in the video by doing your own research.
  6. If you find false information, then it's a hoax, but if it's all true, then it's not.
