Overall Analysis
Trust Markers: 
None
Mistrust Markers: 
all information is sketchy and the owner of themain fracking and oil companies said he would stop it is he "saw" any problems with leaking into water supplies or causing people to get sick.
Trust Rank (1 = high mistrust, 5 = high trust): 
1
Reason for Trust Rank: 

It is a horribly done website with ads and misleading information. The only two comments are people saying that the website should get real information and to leave the planet alone.

I agree that the claims and evidence are far fetched and misleading. They used the their claim to make people read about their personal opinions while people think they're reading about a celebrity. They constantly repeat the claim that fracking is fine and there's no evidence to prove otherwise, but they don't provide solid evidence either. I didn't notice many ads though. I have a feeling it is a fake new article as well, but it isn't obviously so. A piece of evidence that doesn't actually support the claim or have supporting reasoning is this youtube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoK5ae3w6aQ . the video just tells viewers that fracking is good and it helps people enjoy life and if celebrities don't like that then they can stop enjoying their lifestyles.
