The Definitive List Of "Fake News" Sites

You can find it here:

I suggest you copy it lest it vanish again.

And if you are interested, here is an analysis of the "fake news" phenomenon by Marcy Wheeler, whose site emptywheel.net is on the list:

Note well the list of "fake news" seems to have been compiled by a single person and does not appear to have been vetted by anyone else.

But if you trust Professor Zimdars, you're all set.

Personally, I believe that if the only news I got came from Marcy Wheeler, I'd be better informed than if I read every single alleged "real news" source on the Internet. I say this because I know the level of research Marcy employs and because I am confident she would never publish any BS.
