"There is a Fox News headline that goes like this:

Transgender female runner who beat 14,000 women at London Marathon offers to
give medal back

Read about the event elsewhere and it turns out the athlete was also beaten by
thousands of people and it was a participation medal. While the Fox News
headline is true, it is framed to potentially elicit a negative reaction.

Misinformation is on the rise. We’re told we need to think critically when we
read things online, but how can we recognise such situations? And what does it
mean to think critically anyway?"
