Curated lists of fringe, opinion and pulitzer prize winning news sites as well as a reddit stylesheet to visually tag links to them appropriately.
If you have your own list which classify sites or sections of sites, please let me know so I can include it.
If there are any errors or a site is miscategorized, create an issue or a pull request.
There are currently 5 separate lists of 674 URLs and sites:
- fakenews-aloisius - Fringe media sites that engage in yellow journalism, conspiracies, rumors, gossip, sensationalism, tabloid journalism, fake news, propaganda, etc.
- fakenews-snopes - Fake news sites from snopes.com

Lists are formatted with either "host/path", "host path" or just "host" on each line with support for simple prefix (^), suffix ($), substring on the hostname or path.
Comments begin with a hash (#).
