For satirical news, see List of satirical news websites.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

This is a list of fake news sites. These sites intentionally, but not necessarily solely publish hoaxes and disinformation for purposes other than news satire.

Some of these sites use homograph spoofing attacks, typosquatting and other deceptive strategies similar to those used in phishing attacks to resemble genuine news outlets.[1][2]

Definition

Fake news websites deliberately publish hoaxes and disinformation to drive web traffic inflamed by social media.[3][4][5] These sites are distinguished from news satire (which is humorous) as they mislead and profit from readers' gullibility.[4] While most fake news sites are portrayed to be spinoffs of other news sites, some of these websites are examples of website spoofing, structured to make visitors believe they are visiting trusted sources like ABC News or MSNBC.[6] The New York Times pointed out that within a strict definition, "fake news" on the Internet referred to a fictitious article which was fabricated with the deliberate motivation to defraud readers, generally with the goal of profiting through clickbait.[7] PolitiFact described fake news as fabricated content designed to fool readers and subsequently made viral through the Internet to crowds that increase its dissemination.[8]

The New York Times noted in a December 2016 article that fake news had previously maintained a presence on the Internet and within tabloid journalism in the years prior to the 2016 U.S. election.[7] Prior to the election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, fake news had not impacted the election process and subsequent events to such a high degree.[7] Subsequent to the 2016 election, the issue of fake news turned into a political weapon, with supporters of left-wing politics saying those on the opposite side of the spectrum spread falsehoods, and supporters of right-wing politics arguing such accusations were merely a way to censor conservative views.[7] Due to these back-and-forth complaints, the definition of fake news as used for such polemics became more vague.[7]

List

For Philippine audiences

Fake news sites have also become rampant for Philippine audiences, especially being shared on social media.[92] It has become so bad that that lawmakers have started filing laws to combat fake news.[93][94]

Some of the links below are now dead, under construction, redirect to other URLs, or have morphed, but are maintained in the list to show how prevalent fake news sites for Philippine audiences are. Another problem is that satire sites are being passed as real news by Philippine social media audiences, or have now lost their satire disclaimers and are being passed off as real news.

Exercise caution when visiting some of the URLs below as anti-virus software have tagged some as containing malware.
