I know some information online are not true,when do you think we should ignore information put out by bloggers and term them.untrue..

[cmoneyspinner]

There are bloggers who want to be known as reliable sources. They work very hard at earning a reputation as a blogger you can trust. But even so, there is no requirement to believe them. Whether information is online or offline, in a blog or not in a blog, it should always be evaluated. When we do research we don't just go to one source, do we? And yes. Sometimes you uncover erroneous information, misleading information, partial truths and flat out lies! Yep yep.

I know some information online are not true

This is called "fake news". What to do? We have to be cautious, I think.

[SHOHANA]

well for good reputation you should provide the true news as post on your blog, if people find fake news then next time they may ignore your post.

[Rational Mind]

I never believe the information I find on random website. I always look for the reputable source such as Encyclopedia Britannica. I know a writer who is bald, yet his article on growing long and thick hair receives 1000 daily visits.

Unfortunately, there is no real penalty in this society for distributing false information. Even Biblical Scriptures warn of the Great Deceivers on planet earth.

Almost any topic you can think of can be researched to find content that supports completely opposing points of view. There is so much false information that it is nearly impossible to know for certain which viewpoint is true, or at least truer than the opponent's viewpoints.

To complicate the issue, most presentations are slanted with strong opinion to support the viewpoint being presented. Even if you believe it to be true, the best you can do is take it with a grain of salt. In most cases, you simply have to take it with a truckload of salt. Very little can be believed or taken at face value, no matter where you find it.

The best way to avoid false information is always look into the trusted sites. If you look into Encyclopedia Britannica, you will find reliable information. If you check myo clinic website, you will find reliable information.

You just hit the nail on the head,it just about reading trusted sites and searching out to be sure it real.

Yes, there ate bloggers who are doing their best to give right information, and there are also bloggers who give false information because either they do not know the right information or want to gain quick traffic

I agree with you, there is no requirement to believe them.

One of the major problems in the blogging world is clickbait. People try to trick the users by having ana interesting title, but no substance in the content.

[aecel]

I guess you make some research first before believing the information you got from bloggers. There are lots of sites that are legit and make some research before posting their news.

[thisnthat]

I would just do my best to build trust with your readers. I don't think being a blogger has the same "stigma" it once did. Even citizen journalists have more respect (and traffic) than before, especially since everyone now knows that fake news is a thing. Bloggers are no more prone to sensationalism, clickbait, etc. than so-called news outlets.

I don't trust bloggers any less than I trust news sites. I just do my own research from varying sources and then form my own opinion.

[augusta]

I totally agree to make research about the information gotten from a different site would help one sieve false information and know what is truthful

[Chameli]

When I am looking for authentic information, I always check wikipedia or authority sites like encyclopedia briticinna.

[ahmedo24]

Most bloggers do uploads wrong information majorly to get more traffics and they usually fine tune the headings to attract members

[Rational Mind]

I always try to be authentic, however, I believe that in order to gain quick traffic, many bloggers are using wrong tactics and one of such methods is providing wrong information.

[Chameli]

Traffic bait is one of the bad practice that many bloggers do. Therefore, I do not trust blogs when I am looking for information.

[morgoodie]

I think as with all information that is found online, you need to be cautious and do more research to find the correct information. Looking in just one place isn't a good way to get the best information. Bloggers are human and can make mistakes. I wouldn't trust the information gathered by a blogger to be accurate if it was about important topics such as health unless they were a health professional and even then I would still do more research in other places.

When I write something on my blog, I make sure the content is true before posting it. I do my research on the subject and then I write a post on the topic. When I write my own blog posts, It is just something from my ordinary everyday life. I get a lot of compliments on these kind of posts
