What do you mean by "see your presidents"?
I had assumed you were an American, I may be wrong. But Trump in a bold move has decided not to listen to his sercurity services and gets all his "facts" from places like breitbart and some man he met down the pub.

Imagine a way to gather information, done it, good, those are what I meant.

Someone says something, then you go out and see if it is true by whatever means, if it relates to a document check the document if t relates to an incident check the incident happened with evidence that supports it.

It is worrying that people don't know how to check for truth. First, what is the source, is it a respected source of news, do they have a history of being right. Then is the source backed up by evidence. Are there multiple sources of the facts, does it meet with what is generally known. etc etc.

People who do investigative journalism are investigative journalists, people that just make shit up or publish unsubstantiated rumour are not.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
