Fact-checkers do this for a living; they also use tricks like lateral reading, searching for a website's name in a new tab, and reverse image search, searching with a picture instead of words.
Who acts: Fact checkers, checkers, website · What happens: do, use, search, name · To what, where: this, tricks, new tab
