If You Read It on Facebook, It Must Be True

"There's a sucker born every minutes".  That's a phrase often credited to circus promoter PT Barnum.

But on the internet, we're all potential suckers to the partly believable Facebook posts that pop up in our news feeds.

Especially when they are shared from trustworthy friends.

These are the latest versions of forwarded emails that plagued email users before Facebook became so popular.

Did you hear the one about Pope Francis wearing a Black Sabbath shirt?

Or the one about KFC serving fried rat?

Both are FALSE of course.

But how do you know?

Before you "Share" or forward a post that may or not be true, check out Snopes.com first.

The site is a collection of internet rumors and myths that are checked for accuracy.

Enjoy!
