If A Story Seems Bogus/Fake?

 I have six general rules to apply against somewhat fake/bogus stories:

First....where did this start....who first reported it?

Second....are there parts of the story that seem vague?

Third....there has to be a timeline.  If it's marginal or non-existent....the story is fake.

Fourth....how much emotional manipulation exists?  

Fifth....are there missing details?  Did they leave out part of the overall story?

Sixth...does the follow-up story even exist, or does the story just 'drop' within 24 hours?
