LOL, I was soooo tempted to add “all wingnut news outlets.”

Not sure Borowitz Report really belongs on the list, because he’s more like The Onion — usually obvious that it’s satire, and he isn’t deliberately trying to fool people. On the other hand, I have seen people who thought something he posted was a genuine story, so I guess a case can be made for including him.

I don’t think there are many people who don’t know The Onion is a satirical site, though.

If we added the outlets that unintentionally beclown themselves we would add CNN>

Agreed on both counts, but it was the best list I could come up with quickly. I don’t consider the ones that deliberate try to fool people to be satire either.

There’s actually a whole site dedicated to it- that is people buying Onion stories as the real deal. But yeah Borowitz isn’t deliberately trying to deceive people.

Genie Scott did a great talk at TAM recently that differentiates between pranks, hoaxes, and those who sincerely believe, and fraud. It’s an interesting spectrum with varying levels deception and evil.

Worldnet Daily and Gateway Pundit need to be added.

Worldnet Daily and Gateway Pundit need to be added.

And Infowars, Geller’s site, Spencer’s site, etc. If I were to include all the lying bigots & conspiracy theorists the list would be ginormous.
