Who is fake news? Any of them? None of them? All of them? Be free to add who you think should be on this, too.

ALL of them have funked things up, I think RT is the only one of these that consistently is just complete BS, top to bottom.

All 'news' is biased. Some just pretend that their name gives them a veneer of objectivity.

RT is ok for things not involving Russia. I mean they had Jesse and Larry King for the election, not exactly Russian spies there.

HuffPo, Breitbart, Buzzfeed, NY Post but even they have "broken clock" moments.  NYT is MUCH improved after being slammed by Trump. WSJ slowly coming back too.

Absolutely galling that I'm only the second vote for The Economist, by the way, a magazine that has successfully marketed its trademark mix of superficial international coverage and platitudinous editorials by convincing its readers that a subscription is their first step into the global elite.

Lol yeah, that publication sucks. I voted for the same ones as you but I swapped Snopes with the Washington Post. The Post has a good history although Bezos ownership is cause for concern. I'm taking a let's wait and see approach.

Pretty much all but NPR and the local sources, though I let Al-Jazeera slide and BBC is reasonable when not delving into the UK.
