SOURCE: Rappler
The Facts
A reverse image search ran on
Tineye showed that the video was
uploaded by YouTube channel
RIMStudio on February 27. It
showed a game simulation of a
KA-50 battle helicopter being
shot down by an FIM-92F
advanced stinger missile using
Arma 3, a tactical shooter
simulation game.

Which among
the criteria did
this fake
information
violate? Explain.
While THERE IS NO DEFINITE TOOL that can
be used to gauge the reliability of all
information, there are a number of memory
devices that can help you remember key
factors to consider in determining the
reliability of your sources.
One device is the CRAAP test, developed by
the Meriam Library at California State
University, Chico. Analyzing the C.R.A.A.P
(currency, relevance, authority, accuracy,
purpose) in a print and web source can help
you determine its credibility and suitability.
