If you need a list to determine what's real and what's fake, then your problems are probably beyond the help of that list.

I generally don't chase news except for certain tech news outlets and high quality news-letters. Generally anything important will filter down even through those channels. If the news is something which may impact (or require) decision making, then I'll look for solid analysis. I like well presented, well structured arguments. Even if the content is fake, at least the structure is sound (and probably still worth reading even if I knew it was fake).

I understand that news takes time to filter to Afghanistan. But your information is outdated.
