Semi-protected edit request on 24 October 2020

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at List of fake news websites. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it.
