"Feline Reactions to the Bearded Men"

https://improbable.com/airchives/classical/cat/cat.html

 This article describes an experiment on the reactions of cats to images of bearded men.  I initially believed the website to be reliable because it appeared to include all the necessary information and facts. Additionally, the author included her name, the university where she attended, and a thank-you note to the museum for donating the images in the first introduction, which I found to be credible.

 However, as I learned more about the website, I saw that the bibliography the author supplied was just a list of renowned names and subjects unrelated to the experiment, which led me to conclude that the entire thing was unreliable.

“The Onion” 

https://www.theonion.com/

"The Onion" is a satirical news website that offers fake news in an exaggerated and humorous style. It is a parody of typical news outlets, with strange and frequently offensive headlines and stories. The content of "The Onion" is intended to be amusing and should not be taken seriously as actual news. Additionally, the targeted audience is people who already have knowledge about the news they are reading. Its satirical nature allows it to make satirical and humorous comments on numerous facets of society, politics, and culture. 

This news website could be useful if you want broad information about the news; but, if you want accuracy, this news website is not reliable and helpful.
