You're addressing an interesting thing.
How can I define what is true and not.
When I see the primetime news on one of our public tv channels I have to believe what I see and heard is as true as possible.
I could as MaDef said
"There's an easy fix, believe nothing you hear and only 1/2 of what you see. Follow that rule and you generally can figure out the truth."
If I should follow this rule I should not believe what our authorities tells me about Corona virus, nor shall I believe my friends(I do not believe them anyway, when it comes to this Corona)
And that's why I have decided to stay neutral in politics and society related problems.
An another thing.
What a person see as truth or fake is mostly based on this person political standpoint and perhaps their social standpoints.
