I can't believe we actually have this category. Sad! Daniel Case (talk) 23:44, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Not clear on what counts
Newsguard is in this category. Not clear to me why it is or, more broadly, why an article would get put in this category. It is the case that Newsguard exists to try to help people distinguish between lower quality and higher quality journalism. But the article about Newsguard on WP doesn't say anything about fake news, and when I noticed it's in this category I thought it was a bit of joke-y vandalism implying that Newsguard, itself, is a purveyor of fake news. (I'm still wondering whether that was the intent of adding that category.) Novellasyes (talk) 13:36, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
