Real or Satire?

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

thehardtimes.net -

thehardtimes.net is, thankfully, forthcoming about their satirical nature. From their About page: The Hard Times is a very real punk news site that you should not question. Just absorb the information as truth and move on. The historic satire site was founded in December 1982 at 171A studios while the founding members were eating broken glass with The Bad Brains.…



landoverbaptist.org -

Landover Baptist Church is another example of Poe’s Law, similar to Christwire. Fully immersed in the joke, you are knee-deep in muck and mire of this extremely conservative “church.” There is no sign of the site breaking character, even on their ‘Godly Terms of Service’ page, which features paragraph upon paragraph of semi-legal gobbledygook. That is until you get to…



endingthefed.com -

“I thought I can help [Trump] to win the presidency by creating a website. So I created endingthefed.com. I feel sorry for posting some ‘fake’ news. I removed them but at that time, I didn’t really know about them being fake.”



worldnewspolitics.com -

The story from worldnewspolitics.com submitted to us was this one: Queen Elizabeth Makes Heartbreaking Announcement About Royal Family’s Future Now defunct fake-news Brit sites, 1ndependent and Da1lyMail (see the naming convention trend?) originally posted this same story last year, claiming that the Queen would not only retire, but skip over Prince Charles in favor of Prince William to be King.…



melbourneer.com -

Houston, we have a problem . . . The Melbourneer is primarily a depository of cool images, GIFs, and the like. Their page is separates into topics just as “Cool Man,” “GIFs,” and my personal favorite, “Suddenly!” Some of their images may be too awesome to believe, such as Kumi Yamashita’s “Portrait Made From a Single Thread Wrapped Around Thousands…

So you found a new medical site — that’s great! But . . . should you follow their medical advice? Answer these three questions before you do:



dailymail.co.uk -

Daily Mail is considered a tabloid magazine, published daily. It is the biggest such publication in the U.K., with Ireland and Scotland editions. It is considered conservative and right-of-center, but folks from other countries such take note that those terms will likely mean different things in the U.K. than in, say, the U.S. A “tabloid” magazine is very different from…



dailycaller.com -

The Daily Caller is often touted as the conservative answer to Huffington Post. Indeed, the Daily Caller themselves say they are “the balance against the rest of the conventional press,” which if you can’t tell by most conservative rhetoric is left-leaning. But conservative pundit and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson said that they would “not be tied to ideology.” This…



enduringvision.com -

Enduring Vision graciously reveals its satirical nature in its own logo. But read on to find out why we really like their site!



bbc.com.newstimesdaily.com -

Anything with “newstimesdaily.com” affixed to the URL is Clickbait/JokeLink. Anything.



modernwomandigest.com -

There was no article presented to us for Modern Woman Magazine, so let’s pick 3 random site items before we give our verdict: JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA TEACHER SUSPENDED AFTER SHOCKING SEX ED DEMONSTRATION This was first posted by InfoWars.com, a known satire/fake-news site. You won’t find any coverage on this item on credible news sources; instead, you’ll find a bunch of…



abefinklestein.com -

From their About Page: "Abe Finklestein is a Bonafide Sports Humour Website created by South Carolina native Beefy “funny” Barnes a South Carolina import and thugged out nerd who now resides in Phila’s University City." Some of it gave me a good chuckle a couple times.



7uplagi.com -

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.



tezhazirlamaevi.com -

Tez Hazirlama Evi is a Turkish site. No one here at RoS speaks Turkish. Sorry. If you do speak Turkish and would love to help us out on this one, please do! EDIT: Special thanks to site-visitor 4DEATH, who provided a bit of info on Tez Hazirlama Evi: Thiis is not a news website. It claims to write thesis (university)…



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…



twitter.com/RNCSquirrel -

@RNCSquirrel is a response-Twitter account that acts as a so-called “frenemy” to @HRCsquirrel, itself an insult-Twitter designed as a pre-backlash maker to the prospect of Hilary R Clinton’s presidential run.



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:



savethehumans.com -

This site’s last article was from 2012; however, hyper-linking and sharing has no expiration date. While this site is satire, it’s goal is definitely to affect opinion, probably mostly through ridicule.



worldtruth.tv -

The article submitted for WorldTruth.tv was a rehash on an old viral scare from a couple years back about the pacific ocean “dying.” Our issue with this story is that, with the exception of 1 link about Chernobyl, all of the source links point to fear-mongering www.enenews.com, a site that focus solely on questionable conclusions from questionable science. Most of…



naijaurban.com -

I can’t click a link on Naijaurban without fear of being pulled into some Nigerian scam. That said, the site is likely a mix of local news (as in, Nigerian-local), entertainment news, half-news, and questionably-real-news. Take anything from this site with a grain of salt. But with articles like My Boyfriend’s Father Is Very Good In The Bedroom, See How…
