Extension Usage Instructions
This extension alerts you when you're on a news site that isn't deemed "real news" by Melissa Zimdars, assistant professor of communication & media at Merrimack College.
The inspiration for this extension comes from her work 'False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and Satirical “News” Sources'.
Update: the alert now also displays the reason for the site's categorization as "fake news" if one has been provided in Zimdars' research.
Update 2: Added additional questionable source URLs as well as Facebook hover-over warnings, inspired by BSDetector. Extension Basic Information
