Do you have a list of fake news websites?

[rogeriochaves]

Looking around the web I found a lot of places that have lists of fake news websites and sometimes trustful news sites.

We could use those, both for scraping/copy for pre-classification (issue #5) and for training robinho with more data.

Do you know any lists like this? I'll use this issue for saving the links

Simple lists:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fake_news_websites

Fact Checking websites:

Browser Extensions:

• B.S. Detector is an extension that uses a listing approach to identify the fake news websites, the project is open-source, the list is here: https://github.com/bs-detector/bs-detector/blob/dev/ext/data/data.json
• Le Monde's extension Decodex is also an extension (mostly in french) that Le Monde's journalists manually classify, idk if they have a public list of what they classified already, but that would be great

Detecting that an account it a bot may also be a sign that it is sharing fake news:
