Accuracy: is the information presented as
fact, opinion or propaganda?
 

Things to Consider:
 

  bar graph of wage statistics Some sources present factual material...

  advertising poster from WWII era Still other information sources represent blatant propaganda (ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause.)
