If a mainstream media site counts, I would add the Daily Mail!

As regards sheer loony (and nasty) sites, my long-time bugbear whale.to! Not a fan of Judicial Watch, either.

"After 30 years of research, I now
possess the Order of Harmonic
Antipodal Cubic Divinity Life -
too large for physical form, but
Binary Spirit of the masculinity
Sun & feminity Earth Antipodes.
ONEism is demonic Death Math.
I have so much to teach you, but
you ignore me you evil asses.
You will recognize 4 corner Days
or incur Easter Island Ending."

After 30 years of research, this guy has become completely crazy.

Those in the list are 'worst' because the gullible believe them.

timecube is bad in so many ways: science, philosophy, web design, grammar, text layout, graphics, animation, photography...

Alas, the anti-vaxer, anti-gmo, pro-hyperbole crowd has been growing lately, at least in terms of posts made.

but it is also anti-Semitic, generally racist, virulently sexist, homophobic, etc. etc. Not fit for human consumption, let alone progressive human consumption.

And to her, it mattered not one bit that the same site had some of the foulest anti-progressive content around. They were right about vaccines in her twisted mind. I don't know if she still uses it or not, I had to put her on ignore.

More woo than you can shake a stick at. Anti-vax, anti-fluoridation, 9/11 truther, Boston bombing truther, global warming denial and on and on and on.

Watts up with that, the anti global warming site, should be in this list. It is very influential, and has won awards from main stream media (not for accuracy, I believe, but for popularity). It is very anti scientific.
