Top 10 Worst Anti-Science Websites

Saw this fun article here: http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4283 and decided to make a quiz out of it
The criteria for worst is based on the article writer's opinion on how much harm the website does by spreading bad science, not on site traffic or anything else.

Ha! thought I recognised the name kalbahamut, you were the guy in the comments of the nerdom quiz. We might not agree on anime, but your spot on with this conspiracy crap.

I still struggle to believe conservapedia isn't a parody site (you could call that my own little conspiracy) it's just so ridiculous, the feminist article in particular is comedy gold.

Disappointed to see the Huffington Post on the list, i've occasionally used the site and didn't expect it to be peddling trash like homeopathy. Guess that proves why lists like this are so important for warning people of this bullshit.

HuffPo is usually fine. I mean their main focus is not on medicine but politics and world events. And they don't produce their own content so it's not entirely their fault, but, they would do well to hire a more skeptical person to fact check some of the health-related articles that they decide to republish.

That's my take anyway. I didn't write the article used to create this quiz.

oh, and... I think they were put on here primarily because they get a lot of traffic. So.... the author of the article was using that as a reason why they potentially did more harm than some other much crazier but far-less-popular sites.

HuffPost is properly on the list.

Excellent list. Couldn't think of Alex Jones' website at first. Not sure if Huff Po deserves to be lumped into the same crowd as the rest. Perhaps replace with Fox Noise? :-)

They would get my vote. :) after all, they do have a website. But, as mentioned before, I didn't make this list. Just the quiz.

0/10. Could not figure out for the life of me what 'woo' meant.

No WikiLeaks?

hm.... I would characterize some things WikiLeaks has done as irresponsible, but, anti-science? They are definitely anti-government and anti-coporate and sometimes the latter dovetails nicely with being anti-science (public opinion against Monsanto is what I'm thinking of here), but I don't think that makes it the same thing. Anyway, again, I didn't make the list, just the quiz.

On the other hand they did help get Donald Trump elected, and he's appointing a climate-science denier to the EPA, which could have a much bigger impact on the world than any of these others sites could ever hope to.

The Climate Change article on C-Pedia is a troll.

Is it? That's gotta be almost impossible to tell given all of the other articles on Conservapedia. Unless maybe the entire site is trolling...

It says Number of days till the end of the world due to climate change on the top, and then says 3164, unless these people are delusional, it has to be a troll. And the first sentence talks about it being a "hoax" and blah blah blah.
