Information criticism

Information criticism is a way of looking at information carefully to decide if it is true, reliable, and trustworthy. It helps us make sure that the information we are using is accurate and helpful before we use it to make decisions. To do information criticism, you have to ask yourself questions like "Who wrote this?" "Can I trust it?" and "What are the sources of the information?". This will help you figure out if the information is reliable and not just someone's opinion. Once you have made sure that the information is reliable, you can use it to make smarter decisions.
