The related paragraph from the article

"4. Information Literacy

Another problem, we are faced with, is that of reliability: How do we know that what we read, saw or heard comes from a reliable source? How do we evaluate the information gleaned?
Yoram Eshet suggests a cognitive tool in order to cope with this problem: Information Literacy: Trust nobody
This literacy acts as a filter: It identifies false, irrelevant, or biased information, and avoids its penetration into the learnerĂ­s cognition.... without a good command of information literacy, how can one decide which, of the endless pieces of contradicting information found on the web, to believe? Which of the news on the web to trust? Which political opinion posted on the web to adopt? "
