Question 2

You live in Michigan and are trying to decide about how to vote on a proposal to build a new bridge to Canada, so you have been doing some research on the internet. You have found several websites that discuss the proposal. One is M Live, a site that reports news from the Michigan state capital in Lansing. You also visit The People Should Decide.com which does not support the proposal to build the new bridge. Which step will probably not help you very much in your search to see which of these sites is credible?
 
  a. Check out who is providing the information on each site. Are they well-known people in the state of Michigan?
  b. Do the sites provide information about the bridge proposal from multiple sources?
  c. See if you can discover if anyone who is supporting these sites has a particular interest in a bridge being built or not.
  d. Assume that if the information is up-to-date on both sites that you are getting good information.
