Which of the following helps explain why the fact check from the Associated Press is more credible than the Facebook post from ordinary (and unfamiliar) users?
Select all that apply
The Associated Press is a well-known news organization that verifies information before it publishes it.
The Facebook post and the video in it were both shared by ordinary people. There's no way to know what their motives are or whether they verified the claims in the video.
The Associated Press never makes any errors in the news reports it provides.
The Associated Press has standards designed to ensure that the information in its reports is accurate.
The ballots in the video from Facebook are clearly fake and Cindy M. is a paid Russian troll.
