Analysis / Bias
Агрегатор 24СМИ or ex.24smi.info does not publish original content; instead, they link to news and information provided by other sources. The content on the website is highly sensational and often features scantily dressed women such as this Seductive beauties with tattoos. Other stories promote pseudoscience like this The most fun men and women are born with this zodiac sign.
Editorially, the website links to stories that strongly favor the Russian government and in particular, President Putin, like this Putin’s decision will change the lives of migrants in Russia forever. Reporting on the West is often negative and follows the Russian Government’s narrative, such as this Putin warned the entire West in one phrase. Finally, when it comes to sourcing, they often link to unknown or other Russian sources that MBFC has deemed questionable, such as Ria Novosti and KP.ru.
In general, Агрегатор 24СМИ aligns with the right-leaning government and often publishes sensationalized content and routinely promotes pseudoscience.
