Learning to google and doing a cursory check of news using snopes would do the same.
Something I have noticed is that people do not seem to do either of those things. I have personally observed that people (with degrees, no less) would rather make an assumption about a topic in the presumed absence of information, rather than actually check that such informatio is available. In one case I was able to show that with a very, very simple google search consisting of two words the information was clearly available within 10 seconds. I do not think this is due to laziness or apathy, as they fail to do this even in cases where they are expending energy on arguing something.
