So I Started Building A 'Fake News' List

I'm building my own list of sites that originate/promote "fake news." My methodology is extremely simple and straightforward — I'm taking known fake news stories and I'm searching by titles and pulling from the results the sites that repeat them. I'm excluding forums, obvious personal blogs, any pieces that question the veracity of the fake news piece, are updated with corrections, etc. I also purposefully excluded some larger sites (Infowars/PrisonPlanet/etc) and mainstream right/left media. This is by no means a comprehensive or perfect list but it's a start. Links are numbered to correspond with the "fake news" stories considered (third post).

Invalid list....


CNN is blatantly missing.

Don't forget to add Washington Post to the list.

And CNN is clearly underrepresented on that list.

Hey Atlantian,

I truly admire the amount of work and perspective u bring to ATS...
We disagree on most political issues but we can agree on this:
You are a wonderful addition to the site and one of the reasons why I love ATS…

Now back to our corners and gloves back on...

I purposefully left out Fox, CNN, MSNBC, WND, DC, The Hill, WaPo, Washington Times, etc. They're all getting plenty of attention.

a reply to: theantediluvian

Are these the sites you want censored or labeled as fake because it doesn't agree with your ideology?

Witch hunt.

Red scare.

"Are you now, or have you ever been a part of a news site that we have determined to be fake?"

Go get 'em! Ban them all!

a reply to: theantediluvian

and this is my Fake News list:

CNN
ABC
New York Times
Washington Post
The White House (under the Obama administration)
BBC
MSNBC
Fox News
USA Today
Huffington Post

and my methodology is simple and straightforward:
it exposes the Pathological liars.

Here's another one with many "credible" references !!

a reply to: theantediluvian

I think, at this point, the list would be shorter if you gathered the names of legit news sites. It's getting smaller every day.

Fake propaganda is legal, remember. What's your point?
Now when it backfires it's fake news. Right.

a reply to: Ksihkehe

Yes, I would love to see the OP's list of legitimate news sites.

a reply to: RickinVa

No, that would be HeywoodFloyd's list.

a reply to: theantediluvian

That's good work. These sites should be exposed for peddling nonsense and click baiting. Your list is a good reference in that regard.

a reply to: DBCowboy

Are these the sites you want censored or labeled as fake because it doesn't agree with your ideology?

No? I haven't advocated any sort of censorship nor have I promoted banning anything. Are you trying to censor me? Ban my list? What kind of terrorist are you? (why should you get to be the only drama queen right?)

HALP! HALP! That old man tried to touch me!

I'm just trying to collect and share data with the community about sources on the web. Unlike "PropOrNot" what I've done is completely above board. Anyone can see it and decide for themselves.

a reply to: theantediluvian

Good list. I would add ConservativeTreeHouse and Truthfeed.

a reply to: theantediluvian
you forgot one

Conservative sites are fake!
