But obviously that's not accessible anymore, so I guess you have to use your best judgment. Some of them are obvious, like The Daily Caller or Russian (RT, Sputnik) or other state sites. Another one I remember that I've seen used here is Zero Hedge - and of course InfoWars. We could really use another list, I agree. I remember Skinner saying the only reason those types of sites should be posted was to disprove what they were saying.
