The Military Officer's Association of America (MOAA) published an excellent article listing web sites to visit to check out rumors that get passed around on the internet.
Tech Tactics - Truth-Testing on the Internet : MOAA:
I've found that as we get closer to elections, the amount of "fake facts" that get circulated around increases a lot! I believe there are professional organizations who work to create these "fake news articles" and they distribute them very effectively! They seem to know that a lot of people actually believe these fake articles and they help to get people to vote the way they think.
I suggest that anyone who receives a forwarded e-mail with news that seems shocking or unlikely that they check it out using one of the web sites mentioned in this article.
