Yesterday an unverified Twitter account claiming to be Woolworths (but accidentally misspelling that as & #39;Woolsworth& #39; multiple times) claimed the shop was returning to UK high streets.

I realised the account was fake in about 20 seconds yet several UK news outlets reported the news as if it were fact.

You can& #39;t trust the media. Not because it& #39;s evil, or because I& #39;m a conspiracy theorist, but because it& #39;s not about news. It& #39;s about clicks and advertising.

I& #39;m not saying "Don& #39;t read the news". I& #39;m saying check multiple sources and use your critical thinking.

Don& #39;t just accept what people tell you.

(Including this thread.)
