DU Mentioned on 'De Hoax Wijzer' (Dutch site??) as a 'conspiracy theory' site [View all]

https://sites.google.com/site/dehoaxwijzer/english-articles

They have a 'Black List: websites to avoid', where they list WND, Above Top Secret, Global Truth, Rense, Mercola, etc.

And then there's DU:

Democratic Underground (www.democraticunderground.com) - focusses on conspiracy theories such as Illuminati, New World Order, chemtrails (which you kill with vinegar?), Codex Alimentarius, aliens, Sandy Hook shooting denial, and other paranoid fantasies.

Not sure how they may have lost context in translation!

I noticed that they have no entry for FR.
