True
False<\/p>\n

Flag this Question
Question 29 2 pts
Why should you avoid Internet sites that are unreliable or biased\u2013 even if they support your point of view? (More than one answer is correct.)
There is no way of determining whether a site is \u201creliable\u201d or \u201cunreliable.\u201d Therefore it\u2019s actually okay for you to use the site, especially if you can find corroborating information.
Although research does explore controversies, and \u201cgray\u201d areas, the college researcher must base findings on the most reliable sources possible to come up with the most currently logical and accurate conclusions.
Information that may seem to be \u201cunreliable\u201d or \u201cbiased\u201d today might be proved correct in the near future, and isn\u2019t that the whole point of doing original research\u2013 to raise questions and explore possibilities?
Literate readers will dismiss sources that appear unreliable or biased, and your credibility as a researcher\/writer will be undermined.
There is simply no way of judging the bias of sources in a highly controversial topic. Each side is biased, and therefore the whole issue is invalid.<\/p>\n
