Currently, the continuation of Cybo1927's "Hosts" still includes entries for unblocking domains which are typically attributed to being "fake news." These sites are unblocked as they are (in most cases) blocked for the sole reason that the blacklist's maintainer disagrees with the person's or publication's politics. This is a large issue when you realize that Steven Black's "hosts" uses a list like this in his "fakenews" hosts (the list). Just go and look at the closed comments.
