The fact that it only has 6 users should tell you something. This is a "joke" add-in that at the same promotes the Alt-Right hate group's conspiracy theories.

Maybe this just needs to be updated, but it highlighted every single source as #FakeNews which I find hard to believe. If ABC, CBS, CNBC, CNN, etc. are all fake news then the state of media is in rough shape.
