fake-news

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.
