You're characterization of the list as "Right wing" is more or less ludicrous.
First of all you don't know where to draw the line between right and left, nobody does. Secondly, if you're really the critical thinker you claim to be it would occur to you immediately that no one had taken a census of opinions at the time these things made the headlines to find out who held such an opinion and who didn't. In short you've fallen for your own trap and fallen victim to your own critique.
You do exhibit a better level of critical thinking than most people here, myself included.... But it doesn't take very much imagination simply to sway with the breeze of headline propaganda To compile a list you believe to be owned exclusively by one political group. That's a big hole in your thinking process.

Every one of those hoaxes have been propounded by people who self-identify as conservatives.
What's more, where possible, I listed which right wing media outlets pushed those hoaxes for the rubes to parrot.
I agree there are some hoaxes pushed by both ends of the spectrum. The 9/11 conspiracies, anti-vax conspiracies in general, and so forth.
But just because leftists push a small fraction of the hoaxes I listed, that does not negate the fact that right wingers have pushed all of them.
My overarching desire is for the rubes to actually pause and think before parroting what they are told. To stop stating the hoaxes as fact just because they want to bleev they are true or out of some sadistic desire to "own the libs".
The political temperature in this country would be greatly reduced if they did, and more people would flock to the conservative movement.
There are dark forces working to keep us all at each other's throats. "Divide and conquer".
Every American, left and right, can feel something is being stolen from them. They can't put their finger on it, but they sure as shit can feel it.
Then some fucking evil demagogues come along and tell them, "It's the Mexicans and Muslims!"
It isn't the Mexicans and Muslims. They are textbook scapegoats.
And boy oh boy does it keep us from seeing who is really ripping us off, even though they are hiding in plain sight.
It doesn't help the left and right wing propagandists don't give a shit about getting to the truth, even though that's supposed to be their fucking job.
The propagandists don't care how many bodies pile up so long as the rubes keep their eyes plastered to their screens and buy their merch and click the ads.
The media of all stripes have abdicated their roles. And without that, we are well and truly fucked. The media is the last barricade to chaos.
