Real or Satire?

libertywriters.com -

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.



bipartisanreport.com -

With a Republican-controlled Congress and (kinda sorta) Republican President in office as of this writing, we imagine the Bipartisan Report will not be short on supply for things to outrage their readership with. Bipartisan Report is a highly biased, left-leaning liberal media source that uses strong, loaded words for their headlines for stories that can be misleading.



delightfulknowledge.com -

Delightful Knowledge is only moderately delightful. A couple of their articles, namely, the article “NASA Confirms Earth Will Experience 6 Days of Total Darkness in December 2014!,” cite Huzler.com as a source. Huzler.com has the following disclaimer in their footers: “Huzlers.com is a combination of real shocking news and satirical entertainment to keep its visitors in a state of disbelief.”…



cartelpress.com -

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…



donaldtrumppotus45.com -

There's no other label donaldtrumppotus45.com can have, other than ClickBait.



nypost.com -

The New York Post has been around longer than dirt, it seems. They report on real news, but with a heavy Conservative slant. They are not above posting ClickBait-y articles, such as the Planet X Gonna Kill Us All nonsense, that had already been debunked. NYPost was perfectly willing to refer to then Presidential-hopeful Barack Obama as “Osama” in a…



nbc-news.net -

We almost feel bad reviewing nbc-news.net. Undoubtedly, seasoned RoS visitors wouldn't fall for the site's cheap tactics. Putting this here kinda feels like we're insulting our readership. But . . . someone submitted it, so we're obliged to review it.



13wham.com -

WHAM is an ABC local affiliate in Rochester, NY. As real news sources have fallen for fake news before, you should always look for a second (and sometimes third) source for the article.



liberallogic101.com -

LiberalLogic101.com is Satire, using humor to counter left-wing talking points, such as this one: Undoubtedly these “liberal talking points” are taken out of context, which is a common conceit on both sides; otherwise, it wouldn’t be funny.



trueactivist.com -

True Activist is another tough one to categorize, using our binary system. It’s not satire, but it’s not exactly real news, in the sense that you and I think of news. It’s a repository of blogs and stories that fit its philosophical views. Same as Real Farmacy. Their process seems to be: Find an article that fits our view; Reshare…



heaviermetal.net -

We actually rather enjoy Heavier Metal — and not simply because Metal has a fond place in our hearts. The satire here has plenty of the stuff other 'satire' sites lack: humor.



100percentfedup.com -

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!



abriluno.com -

Abril uno sounds suspiciously like April One, don’t it? From Abril Uno‘s footer: Abril Uno is a satire, parody and spoof web publication.



alternativemediasyndicate.com -

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



conservativeoutfitters.com -

We actually commend Conservative Outfitters on their schtict. They sell clothes (and other things like coffee mugs, ‘museum quality’ artwork) on a nicely designed website that tries to draw a weak connection to a well established clothing store (Urban Outfitters) — all with conservative slogans, mantras, quotes, etc — while redistributing news from other Conservative outlets. Enrage the audience. Then…



Toeindia.in -

“If wishes were fishes, we’d all cast nets.” That Frank Hubert Dune quote immediately sprung to mind when we saw this article from www.toeindia.in. Toeindia.in stands for “Times of Everything,” whatever that means. And the fine folks at LGBTQ Nation already discussed the hoax nature on this story, as well as two other ridiculous Toeindia.in stories. [Editor’s Note: We’ll revisit…



citizenschwartz.com -

This is a political satire/humor site for “The Citizen,” a.k.a. BJ Schwartz; however, it has a serious side. Those more serious posts are under the banner of “The Serious Citizen,” but they are op-ed pieces and shouldn’t be believed whole-heartedly as factual, rather, one’s opinion. From the About page: [. . . BJ] harkens back to his college days doing…

UPDATED REVIEW 1-12-2017: Our previous review of If You Only News came when we had a simple binary ranking system. Our conclusion has been updated to match the new system. You’ll be seeing a lot of updated reviews as we continue to comb through the database. They’ve routinely used ClickBait-style headlines and some information “massaging” to prop up their anti-GOP…
