As part of our efforts to combat fake news, we've compiled a list of websites that we know have carried fake or satirical articles. We hope it will serve as a reference for readers who may come across unfamiliar websites.

This is not an exhaustive list. We will continue to update this list with more sites as we write about them.

FactCheck.org is one of several organizations working with Facebook to help identify and label fake or satirical stories, which are flagged by readers on the social media network. We have instructions on how to flag those suspect stories. Our articles debunking them can be found on our " Fake News " page.

Other resources include our special report and accompanying video on how to spot fake news.
America's Last Line of Defense
The website thelastlineofdefense.org provides this disclaimer on the " About Us " page of the website:

DISCLAIMER: The Resistance may include information from sources that may or may not be reliable and facts that don't necessarily exist. All articles should be considered satirical and any and all quotes attributed to actual people complete and total baloney. Pictures that represent actual people should be considered altered and not in any way real.

Daily Feed News
This website has a disclaimer that says: "DailyFeed.news is a satirical publication that may sometimes appear to be telling the truth. We assure you that's not the case. We present fiction as fact and our sources don't actually exist. Names that represent actual people and places are purely coincidental and all images should be considered altered and do not in any way depict reality. All people, places, names, and images should be considered fictitious or fictitious representations."

The site is registered through WhoisGuard, Inc., a company that hides the identity and location of the owner of the website.
Morning Herald
This website has a disclaimer that says in part: "We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability with respect to the website or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the website for any purpose. Any reliance you place on such information is therefore strictly at your own risk."

The site is registered to an owner in Macedonia.
Consinfo
In the " About us " section of the website, consinfo.us says:

365 Us News
A disclaimer on 365usnews.com says:

Any reliance you place on such information is therefore strictly at your own risk.

The site is registered to an owner in Macedonia.
The Trumppers
This website has no disclaimer, but it does have some of the red flags that indicate it's not a reliable source of news. For example, it provides no information about who runs the site or writes its stories. A reputable news site includes bylines on stories, but this site just says, "admin," short for website administrator. It provides no contact information and, in fact, there is no way to contact anyone at the site.

The site is registered through WhoisGuard, Inc., a company that hides the identity and location of the owner of the website.
Newslo/Politicops.com
The Newslo family of sites, which includes politicops.com and politicot.com, publishes what it calls "News/Satire." Newslo articles contain "show facts" and "hide facts" buttons. Generally, the "show facts" button highlights the first part of the story, which is often lifted from a reputable news outlet. The rest of the story is fabricated.

The " About Us " page on politicops.com says:

JUST ENOUGH NEWS... Newslo is the first hybrid News/Satire platform on the web. Readers come to us for a unique brand of entertainment and information that is enhanced by features like our fact-button, which allows readers to find what is fact and what is satire.

Newslo's "No Need to Satirize" brings you completely factual stories that are so ridiculous, they don't need our trademark touch. Whenever you see #NNTS, you're reading COMPLETELY real news that only seems too absurd to be true.

While Newslo articles are clearly labeled satirical, we have found that several other websites republish Newslo articles without labeling the stories as satire and without providing the hide/show facts buttons for readers. This is part of the problem with "fake news." Stories that are intended as satire circulate without proper labeling.
USPOLN or U.S. Political News
USPOLN, short for U.S. Political News, calls itself a "hybrid News/Satire platform." Its "About Us" page says its content "may include information from sources that may or may not be reliable and facts that don't necessarily exist" and "these articles should be considered satirical and any and all quotes attributed to actual people complete and total baloney."

Unfortunately, USPOLN, which can be found at uspoln.com, does not label its articles as satire. For example, we wrote that USPOLN picked up an article from politicops.com without labeling the article as satire and without providing the "show facts" and "hide facts" options given to readers on politicops.com.
Freedom Crossroads
Freedomcrossroads.us provides this disclaimer on its " About Us " page:

Freedom Crossroads uses facts that don't exist and relies more on imagination than the truth. In fact, there is likely no truth at all in what you will read here. All of our articles are basically a crock of doody and should be considered satirical whimsies for today's aging conservative. All people, places, names and images should be considered fictitious or fictitious representations.
