Resources that I did not use, since I wanted to use most of my time to sample a lot of different cases, was "source check" engines. I could only hope that the ZDNet News Channel is honest, for example. It gave me some information about the TotalNEWS lawsuit, and I was content with that.
For those who want to check their sources (or mine...), there are many sites for looking up who owns which domain. Here are a few:
