Fake News Database From Politico

Cristiano Lima and Andrew Britz report on a "fake news" database created by Politico. The database can be searched here: https://www.politico.com/interactives/2018/is-this-true.

Note that Politico is critical of the current administration, and, like Wikipedia, nominations of "fake news" websites are submitted by the public (probably mainly Politico readers). So the database may express a bias against conservative viewpoints.
