Alert: Fake news websites designed to fool conservatives
Zionists4Trump.com ^ | 10/26/2015 | Zionists 4 Trump

Posted on 10/26/2015 11:14:51 AM PDT by Ziva

This is a compilation of fake, hoax, and satirical websites from several sources (listed at the bottom of this article.) Some websites are malicious and some innocuous, but all of them can and do regularly fool many into believing their "#news" is real. All of these websites are aimed at conservatives, and designed to get them to believe and then promulgate false information.

I have grouped the websites into several areas of interest: Political, Religious, News, and Miscellaneous. News websites often do include #political fake news but also have much non-political content. The details for each website can be found on the links at the end of the article.

Rather than having to take the time to investigate each new source, we offer a list of many fake news websites in this post. It was compiled from the sources found at the end of the article combined with additional original research. This list is not comprehensive for all fake news sites. It was designed to include only websites that target conservatives and religious people.

If you discover other websites that seems to target conservatives with fake stories, please send us a comment or email with the URL so we can investigate it and add it to this list, if need be.

Bookmark this site for convenient access to the updated list in the future.

Please be careful about what you re-post. If you check the source first you can avoid losing credibility by using quasi-realistic but fake articles. While our cherished President Ronald Reagan once said "trust, but verify," in our case we must take it one step further. Verify, then trust.

I encourage you to pass this on to all your friends on social media and let them be aware as well.

They forgot to list the following sites as suspicious in nature: NYT, LAT, WaPo, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, FOX, CBS, etc.

I've seen several of these sites posted by trolls on pro-Ted Cruz sites. The trolls who post this garbage know it's fake. It's all an effort to discredit the candidate and mislead supporters to moving away from the candidate.

I have 2nd other phony sites :

Usatoday.com.co It's not USA Today.

cnnnext.com. It's not CNN.

Thank you.
I was just thinking about this last night. I see these fake websites and blogs all the time—especially on Facebook.

Actually, I considered including the MSM, but we already are aware of their bias. I only selected less well known websites whose posts could be mistaken for reality. Here is another paragraph from my post that partly shows why I wrote it.

"An example I found recently showed a story about a major Presidential candidate wanting to relocate a highly disgruntled and violent group of people in the Middle East to an American territory. (I deliberately do not use the actual names here.) The story might seem to provide an attractive option for those who are concerned about the area. This website actually appeared on the first page of a Google search. People who do not check out these stories are often tempted to share such "good news" with their friends. As Jonathan Swift wrote in 1710: 'Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it.'"

The list is in the post and will be updated.

That’s a good idea. The enemedia says Hillary is great, won against the Republicans during her ‘testimony’ and that Benghazi was fake or ridiculously the ambassador’s fault.

Just an oversight, I'm sure.

Alert: Fake news websites designed to fool conservatives

ABC, SeeBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC?

The commies used this tool during the Cold War; it's called propaganda. Sadly, Pravda is more reliable than the so-called "news" sites above.

WWN stopped publishing a dead-tree edition in 2007.
It is still around as a website (though one that gives my antivirus software fits).

Alas, Ed Anger has also passed on.

Ah. No wonder I can’t find it like I preferred.

I used to keep a couple copies of favorites (lost them long ago).
