This dataset is collected from a browser extension called BD detector created for checking news veracity. It searches all links on a given web-page for references to unreliable sources by checking against a manually compiled list of domains. The labels are the output of BS detector, rather than human annotators. Specifically, it contains text and metadata scraped from 244 websites tagged as "bullshit" by the BS Detector Chrome Extension by Daniel Sieradski.
