I absolutely abhore the fact they did this, but “BuzzFeed News” is an actual new agency with legit reporters and “Buzzfeed” is the meme and animated images crap site that everyone loves to hate on.
How can an academic paper that presumably wants to be taken seriously use a news outlets list of ‘fake news’ sites. I would not trust any list from a news site that is giving its opinion on other news sites. Were these academics so lazy that they could not be bothered to do any research on their own? This is just a worthless paper that appeals to people who want to believe they are better than other people.
Duh….they’re more likely to be conservatives…
Surely this is fake news???

“The study drew its list of “fake news domains” from a list assembled by the journalist Craig Silverman of BuzzFeed News. ”
So Buzzfeed is a credible source to determine what is fake news? Really?
