Avoid sources that have a clear purpose of persuading you to buy something or promoting a political point of view, because those purposes can shape the information they present. Commercial sources focused on selling a product and political sources focused on expressing a point of view fit those descriptions. Government-sponsored websites and subscription-based sources are not automatically unreliable, and academic sources that provide clear information are useful.
