Separate Category for News Satire or News Parody
While some satire sites are well known, such as www.theonion.com, other news satire sites hide behind the facade of respectability to the uninitiated--such as www.empiresports.co, and many others. As a result of many of these . I suggest that any linking to such a site can either be blocked in the main panel, or must first come up with a warning splash screen that the site a user is in route to is known for Fake News (Satire, Parody), and it is a user's choice to visit the site for entertainment only, and to take everything there with a grain of humorous salt. Here is a list taken from Wikipedia's article on News Satire:
