For us, cartelpress.com resolves to www.huzlers.com, which we’ve previousy covered as “satire” (read: fake). In all likelihood, cartelpress.com, with its similar design, is similarly fake, set up simply to lure social media users into clicking on them and generating ad revenue. You can read more about Huzlers.com at this Fusion story from 2015. Remember: Huzler described themselves as “the most…
This appears to be set up by John B, but who knows. All we know is it is definitely satire. Eric Prydz is NOT suing over 1000 EDM artists in “World’s Largest Ever Copyright Lawsuit” over ‘Pryda Snare’ sample. “@benlstoner: @ericprydz yeah, let's just sue people over a fucking snare sample.” You'll kick yourself… — Eric Prydz (@ericprydz) April 28,…
The New Republic is a liberal magazine that’s been around since 1914. It is legit, although colored to the Left. We have our problems with the New Republic though. Read onward:
We’re really going to have to put limits on what we can do here, at RoS. We’ve mentioned before that we are an English-language site, though we can generally suss out Spanish, German, and Dutch sites. That does limit us and the sort of data we can provide; however, so long as these international sites make it easy to suss…
Wikistrike is French. We don’t speak French. There seems to be a fair few mentions of the Illuminati, though. So if it’s not satirical, then it’s certainly steep in conspiracy theories. But we can’t be sure. Because we don’t speak French. If you speak French and would like to send us information on this site and whether or not it’s…
Christian Science Monitor is a confusing beast—and has been for years. Despite the obvious religious reference in its name, CSM claims neither to be a religious-themed paper nor promote the doctrine of its patron church. It does contain a daily religious article, at the request/behest of its founder, which has appeared in every issue of the Monitor. Eddy, the founder…
We're assuming that 7uplagi.com is in the Indonesian language. No one here speaks it. From the homepage, however, filled with overly happy, beautiful women (some even suggestively eating a bomb-pop) we assume it's mostly ClickBait sensationalism banking on ad-revenue from click-hungry horny men.
So you found a new medical site — that’s great! But . . . should you follow their medical advice? Answer these three questions before you do:
Counter Current News is a fringe news source. They’ve reported on the murder of an Anonymous hacktivist Abu Shehadeh and even on the Banksy arrest hoax. The one post they have marked “satire” is actually a real article about a group of Muslims making a satirical spoof video on ISIS. While some of the stories might seem like humor, (e.g.,…
Read on to find out why we changed our verdict of 100Percent Fed Up from "Biased" to "ClickBait". Our reasons will shock and amaze you!
We hate even reviewing sites like libertywriters.com, because we know it'll just drive traffic to the site, which is the only thing ClickBait sites like libertywriters.com is interested in.
Remember when Perez Hilton would jack other photographers’ and Paparazzi’s photos and then hand draw dicks and asinine comments on them? Imagine that, but without the dicks. The jury’s out on Ruckus Bucket — they are basically just a Tumblr page with no About page or TOS that I, in passing, could find. It seems to be just a repository…
The article sent to us for U.S. Herald was this one from March 2015: ABSURD: Complete Ban On Using The Word ‘Pork’ To Avoid Offending Muslims From the article: Yes, you read that correctly. Oxford UP is prohibiting authors from using the words pig, pork, sausage, or other pig-related words because they are afraid of offending Jewish or Muslim readers…
Conservative Tribune makes the following claim: [David Boreanaz] broke ranks with the Hollywood elite, and the overwhelming culture of Hollywood, to criticize Pres. Barack Obama. This is the same Pres. Obama that hangs out with celebrities like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and George Clooney, while simultaneously campaigning against rich people. It’s customary to embed tweets when you’re relying on them to push…
I mean . . . we are Americans over here at Real or Satire. 😉 I can read and write German fairly well, but that’s the extent of our linguistic skills outside of English. When I see a .nl top-level domain and some German-looking words on the website, I assume it’s likely a Dutch-based site. While Dutch and German have…
I love a good alien story. From the horror of Alien and The Thing to more farcical offerings like Starship Troopers. Apparently, Disclose.tv does too! In their story NASA Admits It Is In Contact With Alien Species And Just Forgot To Mention It, they tell a yarn about an absentminded NASA just . . . forgetting to tell us about…
WARNING: WorldNetDaily (WND) is an American web site that publishes political content from the perspective of U.S. conservatives and the political right. So expect heavy coloring. They are likely the source of many ultra-Right folks’ conservative conspiracies, e.g., Obama’s birth certificate non-issue. But we wouldn’t call WND ‘conserva-nutjobs’ or anything of the sort. WND has a lot of personal commentary…
By their own admission, the National Review is a right-leaning site/magazine known for “up-to-the-minute conservative commentary on politics, news, and culture.” Author William F. Buckley Jr. Buckley founded the magazine in the early 50s and, himself, was known for several controversies: He co-authored a book defending McCarthyism and referred to HIV/AIDS as a “gay curse,” calling for immediate sterilization of…
No one here speaks Croatian; however, if you do and would like to weigh in on whether this site is real, satire, or something else, please reach out to us. This one bit, however, did strike me as interesting: From their TOS: We take no responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy and completeness of the information contained on the website, including…
