Well Karen, I have a couple of "rule of thumbs" : - If the same story/news is not reported by BBC+CNN+a major network (like Reuters or AP), within a 24 hour period, I'm sceptical of the validity. - Op-eds are invariably slanted one way or the other. thats why they're called op-eds. So I discount them a lot, regardless of who the author is. My approach has a downside - I may not be aware or willing to accept the latest hot news. Thats a price I'm willing to pay, because if its true news, it will be confirmed by multiple sources within 24 hours. an example of my thought process : Message 18613732
