Assignment Instructions

Identify bias, opinions without facts, and satire are examples of elements you will find in a non-credible source.
Share your selection and explain why it is not reliable as an academic source.
The idea is for you to find something and share it with the class so that everyone knows to avoid it. Do a little digging to find a website. DO NOT GOOGLE, bad websites or anything like that. Do some digging.

From instructions: DO NOT share/analyze WIKIPEDIA or THE ONION. DO NOT share/analyze any SOCIAL MEDIA such as FACEBOOK, etc. Social media is a vehicle for public posting.
