Getting reliable news about cryptocurrencies is not easy. In order to create traffic (which generates revenue via advertisement such as Google AdSense), many websites "steal" articles from reputable sources via their RSS feed and just rewrite them with other words (paraphrasing). With powerful API's such as

I always had that feeling but I could never prove it until I answered
this topic in the Spanish board. Basically, it talks about
this article which explains that Mastercard filed a patent to store both fiat money and cryptocurrencies on a same credit card.
The patent linked in the article did not correspond so I realized the author did not even bother reading the patent before translating/paraphrasing an article he found somewhere else (otherwise he/she would have realized the error). I dug a little more by
googleing "Mastercard Patent" with the timeframe Jul 14, 2018 - Jul 20, 2018 and had a little script find other articles with the same error to detect the websites who are obviously paraphrasing others.
Based on the "published_time" meta tag,
https://www.coindesk.com/mastercard-wins-patent-for-speeding-up-crypto-payments/ is the original. And here is the list of all the paraphrasing articles published afterwards (sorted by position in search results ascending):
Any idea and / or proofs of other paraphrasing / plagiarism are welcomed so we can merge together a
blacklist of all the paraphrasers / plagiarists websites.
I believe such a list is useful because these kinds of websites are more prone to spread fake news as they don't perform due diligence before publishing.
