These can be useful sites in pursuing critical analysis of news, but keep in mind that they themselves may not be free of bias, poor context, or misrepresentation.

Below are tools that can be installed in your browser to alert you to potentially fake news. Keep in mind that fake news involves many factors, that plug-ins (like fact-chacing sites) rely on potentially biased input, and that no internet application is able to perform critical analysis the way your brain can. Although these may be useful starting places, use critically and with caution.
