NY Mag is on a lecturing campaign today. It provides an allegedly "Extremely Helpful List of Fake and Misleading News Sites to Watch Out For".

It's criteria is False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and/or Satirical "News" Sources.

It listed 130 or so websites, some of which I agree with, including all of the totally fake sites. However, the bulk of the sites on its warning list contained no reason  for their inclusion.

Some sites have me scratching my head as to the reason, for example ZeroHedge and Lew Rockwell.

The irony is NY Mag goes after "Clickbait-y" articles, but if it went after websites that relied on "Clickbait-y" ads to stay in business, it would have to list itself.
