Looking at the "comments" buttons, it feels like this is just reposting highly voted stuff from a number of controversial sub-Reddits? Salaciously presented news is not necessarily "fake". Lots of real stories here, including facts like "Dow Hits 20,000 For First Time in History".
Seems to be 'stuff that the mainstream media doesn't cover or want you to know' rather than fake news.
From the about page:
'The Quibbler aggregates relevant news flagged as "fake news" by the media. It also provides links to corresponding Reddit discussions. It works by using "fake news" lists like the ones published by Washington Post. It also uses lists of news that is removed from social media.'
Here's the solution to the substitution cipher on the "contact us" page, in case you were wondering.

The quick onyx goblin jumps over the lazy dwarf. To send me an electronic mail use this address: ......... at gmail dot com.
(I left out the username part of the email because I won't post other people's email addresses, but it's easy enough to decode.)
included in this list are articles from the guardian (7), the atlantic (11), the express (3), breitbart (24) and wikileaks (9). Regardless of your political affiliation, it makes no sense to list all 5 of those sources as fake news. It does seem like you've picked up some legit fake news sources as well, like "redflagnews" and "yournewswire".
Wherever you're getting your data, I'd suggest that it doesn't provide a good fit for "fake news".
