Reliable and Credible
Task 3-BIAS
Opinions are a big thing in a bias check. You can't look at a website that is argumentative without seeing some type of bias. Bias is also when an opinion is stated showing one side of the argument.
Just by looking at some websites like debate.org- can show you what people think. It gives colors, red for no and green for yes. Color can symbolize what the author is trying to say. Like dark colors could mean that they are against whatever this is, bright could mean they are totally okay with whatever it is going on.
You have to look for how the website looks. Like the colors, words, opinions.

Task 1-Author
Contacting the author is also super important. If you had further questions for the author, contacting them is the easier way. But you always gotta make sure that it is a real email, number, address, etc. Because if it were fake your questions might go to a stranger or to no one at all.
The author themselves has to be reliable. It could be someone who doesn't know anything about the topic and is just making things up. Who knows where they got their information! It is important to know the author's background and what other websites they have made in the past and now.
Author is usually on the about us tab or at the bottom of a page. It also tends to show a person, an organization, or a group like the government.

Task 4-Date
The website has to have information that is true today. It has to give information that you know. It can be something happening world wide!
The website has to be one that has been updated recently. It can't be one that was update a year ago. It has to be recent.
The date needs to be information from this year. Like if the author gets information from a website from two in a half years ago, that isn't credible. Even if the website was updated last week, their resource is from two in a half years ago.
