1. Compare and contrast information sources. ...
A Google search would have helped. Or a quick check with
someone in, say, the CIA.
2. Don't share without verifying. ...

3. If you put out misinformation, correct it quickly. ...
No such correction yet for the Swedish gaffe. He backed off
a little in a tweet, saying that his statement suggesting a specific attack was
in reference to a TV report. And, two days later, Sweden did experience a riot

comparison to terrorist attacks in Paris or Nice.
4. Be skeptical. .... Even "Fox & Friends" makes a
mistake once in a while.
