2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $1675.86Goal: $10000
Information icon.svg At the chicken coop, we are currently voting on a change to the blocking policy to clarify when offsite behavior such as harassment and brigading can get someone banned from RW. A reminder that you need at least 75 edits and to have had an account for at least 3 months to vote.

OpEdNews is a left-wing website which, in its own words, is the "Drudge Report for progressives." Apparently, the staff at OpEdNews miss the irony of that statement, suggesting that one can look upon Matt Drudge as a professional role model and be taken seriously (well … doubtless they meant to say they want to emulate his popularity). The site regularly posts content from established progressive writers, as well as ramblings submitted by readers who come up with interesting takes on certain topics. And professional cranks like Mike Adams. Like The Huffington Post and Truthout before it, OpEdNews has fallen into the trap of trying to set itself apart from the mainstream media by allowing its writers to spew all sorts of conspiracy theories,[1][2][3] radiophobia,[4][5][6] and anti-scientific moonbattery.[7][8][9][10][11]
