Real or Satire?

Copy and paste any article URL below. We'll tell you if it's real.

abiyamo.com -

Abiyamo is a Nigerian news and entertainment blog. It’s likely real with global stories slanted towards the African culture in general, and Nigeria specifically. One story they had (Egyptian Court Quashes One Of The Two Life Sentences Handed To Ex-President Mohamed Morsi) check outs with both BBC and Aljezeera. Sometimes you will find stories that have no source cited, like…



jezebel.com -

Owned by Gawker Media, Jezebel is a blog site aimed at women’s interests. While it is not without its own controversies, there is nothing satirical about this site.



empiresports.co -

I have a personal shame with this site. I almost shared “Blake Griffin Smacks Justin Bieber At Hollywood Starbucks” with my personal Google+ circle. But it’s definitely fake news. Their tagline is, “Because Sports News In Better When We Write It,” which in and of itself isn’t telling. Their About page reads: Empire Sports is part news, part op-ed, (part,…



outfoxednews.blogspot.com -

The article submitted to us for Outfoxednews was this one — The Senate will vote to decide if climate change is real — which has all the makings of a satirical jab at Congressional incompetence and self-importance. I mean . . . voting whether or not something exists doesn’t have any impact on that thing’s actual existence, right? Alas, Congress…

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…



snopes.com -

We honestly surprised it took nearly three years to get a Snopes submission. Are they real? Fake? Biased? Read on for our verdict!



hollywooodreporter.co -

Not even sure what the point is for hollywooodreporter.co -- and the other sites that are connected to it. Is this ClickBait? Are they simply banking on ad revenue from the occasional visit? Likely. Either way, it's all fake.



worldnewsdailyreport.com -

If you wish to believe that Apple Annouces[sic] Release of Paranormal Communication Application or that a New Gandhi Movie Shocks India, then World News Daily Report is the site for you. But kindly leave our boots well and dry, thank you very much. World News Daily Report follows the old-school Tabloid-styled faux-journalism of its predecessors, such as the Weekly World…



911truth.org -

Sorry, guys, but sites that fall under the 9/11 Truth Movement banner (and there are many) are well and beyond the scope of this site.



mrconservative.com -

Mr. Conservative ran this headline not too long ago: “Obama Admin. Hands Out Pamphlet: “What To Do When The Veteran In Your Classroom Attempts A Mass Shooting”” The source? Duffel Blog, which we’ve covered before. And then they ran: “FBI Raids Conservative Site For Writing Article About Obama’s Birth Certificate” Its source? The National Report. In two minutes, I’ve found…



foxnews.com -

While they may be biased much of the time (because they are), Fox News is considered a real, legitimate news source. You’re advised to take every news article shared from their site with a grain of salt and try and find additional sources for the same story — preferably one that doesn’t cite Fox News.



occupydemocrats.com -

No one should look to occupydemocrats.com for unbiased news reporting — it's in the name, after all. Calling them 'bias' is like calling our sun the closest star to Earth.



denverguardian.com -

denverguardian.com claims its fake news site is more satirical than clickbait greed. Not sure if we believe it. Read on:



alternativemediasyndicate.com -

We review two alternativemediasyndicate.com stories to help us determine if Alternative Media Syndicate is real, satire, or something else altogether!



objectiveministries.org -

ObjectiveMinistries.org once had an article about kangaroos existing in the Middle East. It’s satire; in particular, Poe’s Law. They even go on a tirade against another parody/satire site, Landover Baptist Church. This site hasn’t been updated in awhile.



allenwestrepublic.com -

allenwestrepublic.com site is a conservative news-based opinion site that supports "Allen West and his level of conservatism." But is there more to it? Refreshingly, there isn't. Read more:



rumormillnews.com -

From the Rumor Mill News Facebook page: Politically Incorrect News Stranger than Fiction Usually True! This is kinda the same as when someone is going to say something, but they start with, “Not to be an asshole,” or “I’m not racist, but . . . ” and you know they are about to say something assholish or racist. If you…



bazzfeed.blogspot.com -

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,…



thenewsnerd.com -

No, Patti Labelle did not punch Aretha Franklin; and no, Leonardo DiCaprio will not play the role of MLK Jr. in blackface. Newsnerd is nice enough to contain the following disclaimer on every page: The stories posted on TheNewsNerd are for entertainment purposes only. The stories may mimic articles found in the headlines, but rest assured they are purely satirical.…



canservativetribune.com -

Someone submitted “canservativetribune.com.” Unfortunately, there’s no such site. But there should be. It would be the perfect snark-site for Conservative Tribune, which we have already talked about. (Seriously, someone should get on that.)
