First, I pay attention to if an article references an original source. If not, see if they're the only one reporting the events in question.
I also tend to look at community reactions a lot, see what other random people have to say. That's a horrible way to verify truth, but on the other end, it's the effect of the actions or events that will really matter.
And, yeah, I doubt Fox "News" has referenced an original source in decades, so I'm very skeptical of anything they report. And if they're the only ones talking about something, I generally assume it's completely false.
My bet is Palantir, not OpenAI...
