1. The DU:LBN Archives is a good place to look.
I don't know of any other specific site.

Although, it's a great idea.

5. Yes, it is called Project Censored
http://www.projectcensored.org/
Project Censored specializes in covering the top news stories which were either ignored or downplayed by the mainstream media each year. Project Censored is a research team composed of nearly 200 university faculty, students, and community experts who review about 1,000 news story submissions for coverage, content, reliability of sources, and national significance.

do a good job of investigating false stories and fraud
