Analysis / Bias

In review, St. Pete for Peace primarily curates news from other sources with the message supporting a progressive left/libertarian bias. For example, they have a very negative view of Democratic President Joe Biden’s foreign policy, such as this Biden Foreign Policy Fact Sheet. This story consists of links to third-party sources highlighting Biden’s foreign policy. Some of the sources used are not credible such as RT News, Breitbart, and PressTV. Other stories focus on Trump’s foreign policy, such as this Trump Foreign Policy Fact Sheet. The primary message here is antiwar, which can identify with both the progressive left and libertarians. A review of content indicates more alignment with the left.

Failed Fact Checks
