Fake news detector

WWWEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL: It says "Possible Clickbait" on a site that's absolutely true and factual with basically any and every questioned answered along with rock solid evidence, it must work by ----well look I may be stoned but I know there aren't any REALLY quick people actually watching and reading what you type in. ----so yes, algorithm or what deez nuts have you. Only thing is some people will actually believe it is click bait or whatever cool but not cleaver word some programmers tape... Show more

Worthless. It detects nothing.

only marks conservative news as Fake News, Buzzfeed was unaffected by this

Gives a person a good heads up. First bad item was a local news site was classified as click bait. Previously it was not. Wish it posted what has changed.

Crashes all the time. Only marks conservative sites. Seems like a fake fake detector.

Infowars and Breitbart are rated 5 out of 10? I think I'd like to see the assessment methodology used.

we don't rate pages so maybe you are talking about the wrong extension

I think this is a great add on but have some concerns. I saw it work on some specific pages but, never saw it in action as a scrolled through my actual timeline. Along with that, there are more specific websites that are known to be fake and should be included

This site literally listed several sites that are absolutely trustworthy as being fake. Disliking MSNBC doesn't make them fake news.

MSNBC.co was the fake website, MSNBC.com is ok, we are sorry for the problem. the correct updated release is ready

Really like this so far. It flags sites, and google results which makes it very useful. However I'd like to have some way of adding more sites manually, or including more sources. I think this could evolve into something really great

we are working on it! anyway you can send us an email at fakenewsdetectorstaff@gmail.com in order to flag new websites :D thanks :)
