Try to judge whether the sponsor or author of the page has any vested interest in the information they are presenting. For instance, an article on health risks associated with smoking that is linked to the RJ Reynolds homepage would be immediately suspect. If the author takes a controversial or unique position, they should acknowledge their position as such. They should also refer to opposing or additional viewpoints on their subject.
