Add additional fake news sites #1
Conversation
Saw this on HN and figured I'd suggest a few more: From this [Snopes field guide to fake news](http://www.snopes.com/2016/01/14/fake-news-sites/): * [National Report](http://nationalreport.net/) [[Admittance of fake news](http://nationalreport.net/disclaimer/))] * [News Examiner](http://newsexaminer.net/) [[RealOrSatire confirmation](http://realorsatire.com/newsexaminer-net/)]

Sorry, didn't have time to add more than a few (in the middle of something else). But I love this idea! I'll add some other suggested sources of finding fake news so that we can import sites from them over time. |
Thanks for this PR! I'm not going to merge it right now, because I've been awake for more than 24 hours for the hackathon, and I really need to get some sleep. I promise I will look at this tomorrow around 18:00 CET. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Argh, I see that you fell victim of a shortcut I took during the hackathon. There's actually two block lists, one in background.js and one in facebook.js.
They actually (should) mirror their content, so this part should be refactored to use a common list.

I was on the fence about Paul Horner, because it almost looks like he's some kind of performance artist. But yeah, he should probably go in the list. |
