9. According to AASL: .gov websites
“I prefer the term "authoritative" or "official" to "reliable" when speaking of government information. When I work with students I attempt to make the distinction clear between official sources and other types of information. To place it in perspective, I would certainly call the website of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea authoritative and official. I would hesitate to call it reliable,”
explained Arlene Weible, Penn State Government Documents Librarian.

10. What About Fake News?

Fake News
What happened to the press being a watchdog
for democracy? We need to make students aware of the political views of the news agency.

Zeke Miller, tweeted during the first
WH press conference on Jan. 20 that
there was no Martin Luther King Jr.
bust in the oval office. It had been
replaced by a bust of Winston Churchill.

14. Time Magazine bias rating is Left
Time Magazine bias is Left. Time Magazine has become more and more liberal throughout the 2010s. The magazine has featured editorials from far left columnists, as well as advertised for MSNBC, which has resulted in a reduced amount of subscribers. In December of 2015, the readers' poll for Person of the Year was announced to be Bernie Sanders.

16. Fox News bias rating is Right
Fox News Channel's bias is widely believed to be conservative, despite its slogan being “fair and balanced." Many claim that Fox News promotes conservative ideas and favors the Republican Party.
