Fake News Websites
Fake, Parody, or Unreliable "News" websites
Awhile back I started compiling a list of unreliable news sources on a reshared post, but it's gotten so long and unwieldy I need a fresh start that can be updated and reshared. Some of these say in the About section that every story is fiction. Others, which are more conspiratorial, have fiction interspersed with sometimes real stories, although with added conspiracies and fear mongering distortions. Be skeptical of any site that claims to be "Alternative News" that the New World Order/Illuminati don't want you to know. (If that were true, the Reptilians would vaporize the site, duh!, or at least use HAARP to activate your RFID brain implant to keep you from reading it.)
I have tried to mark some of the parody/satire ones to set them apart from the conspiracy ones. I've not tried to include TV news or shows. Some are listed under both the common name and the website name - so maybe a search will pick up either one and direct here. I'll try to keep them in roughly alphabetic order (the "The" is problematic), and update them as you comment with additional ones - so you might come back periodically to see the latest version:

Some people have requested information for Reliable News Sources. So far, the BBC in England and ABC News Australia are the only ones with a vote of confidence.

If any Journalism class or Critical Thinking class wants to take this list and make a class project out of re-organizing it, verifying it, expanding it - be my guest. :-)
