What do lewrockwell.com, ronpaulinstitute.org, TomWoods.com, unz.com, whowhatwhy.com, zerohedge.com, and teapartyeconomist.com have in common?
They are among the latest left-wing moonbat listing of over 700 “fake news” sites. Check this list and see how many of your favorites made this wacky roll call.
Updates & Notes (from Professor Zimdars):
Some people are asking which news sources I trust, and all I can say is that I read/watch/listen very widely, from mainstream, corporate owned sources (The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes) as well as The Atlantic, National Public Radio, and various local and alternative sources with different political perspectives (Truth-Out) some of which are included on this list. The problem: Even typically reliable sources, whether mainstream or alternative, corporate or nonprofit, rely on particular media frames to report stories and select stories based on different notions of newsworthiness. The best thing to do in our contemporary media environment is to read/watch/listen widely and often, and to be critical of the sources we share and engage with on social media.
