Lately I've seen HN people linking to sites like Newswars (which is infowars rebranded, it seems) and whatnot. > It's not in the same OMGWTF category as newsmax or OAN despite what some HN people will tell you. Drudge has a history chock full of conspiracy theories, retractions and dirty-deletes. All of which center around attacking liberal politicians or causes to "own" or "gotcha" them. Seriously, read the list that includes Obama birther conspiracies, Las Vegas shooting conspiracies, "immigrants setting wildfires" conspiracies (from Breitbart), and perpetuating hoaxes like "black man attacked McCain campaign staffer!": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drudge_Report https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drudge_Report
