Personally, because there are so many sketchy things on Facebook, this is what I tend to do: 1) go to snopes, search for the article 2) read the article, specifically using the links to their sources and reviewing those. 3) if still unsure, do some more searching. 4) if after steps 1 and 2 it can be deemed that, yeah, whatever was posted to Facebook was a crock, then I'll share a link to the Snopes article and in the case where there's a video being sourced, link to said video and pertinent timestamps. So yeah. Used right, Snopes is a good resource. If you (not you you, you generally) just blindly take the word of anything regardless of the source, well, that's interesting.
