In court, there is an old latin adage that says :

Testis unus, testis nullus

In english, it means "one witness, no witness!".

Les juges qui appliquent cette formule ne font jamais confiance à un seul témoin, mais le croient seulement si d'autres personnes racontent la même chose que lui!

You too, cross your references!

It's the same thing when you see an information on the Internet, on TV or in a newspaper!

Before believing informations, always check if you can find the same information elsewhere by consulting other sources.

It is called "cross-checking".
