You're absolutely right. Skepticism is essential in dealing with hard "information" on the Net. A sloppy fraud catcher and frequent error rates is why I never click on Wikipedia, which Time, in its ignorance, salivates over.

I look for websites that are highly accurate. And within such sites, I look for individuals who have the apparent background to offer as much accuracy as I demand of myself. Even then, I remain skeptical.

But with all those caveats, the Net remains a better source for accuracy on politics than the New York Times, because I know the Times is lying -- I just don't know how much, and on what "facts."
