1. Which story is more credible? How do you know?

Correct answers will vary. Correct answers should note that the article written by Andy Borowitz is part of a satirical news column from the New Yorker (a nationally known news source). Borowitz is a comedian, which means that the content of his article should not be taken seriously by the audience and is merely for entertainment. The article in USA Today (another nationally known news source) that was written by Elizabeth Weise includes links to resources that back up the claims made in her argument (such as the patent and FAA rules). She is also a technology reporter, so she is commenting on something in her field. For more help, see Research in the Digital Domain.
