Analysis / Bias

In review, the website essentially republishes news from other hyper-partisan conservative sources. Some of these sources are on our questionable list such as Gateway Pundit and American Lookout. All articles on Blunt Force Truth favor the right and are anti-left. There is a strong use of loaded language such as this: CONFIRMED: Governor Whitmer Begs Michiganders Not to Travel to their Summer Home — Then Her Cars Are Seen Parked Outside of HER SUMMER HOME!. In general this a far-right biased source that rarely publishes factual information as evidence by their use of highly questionable sources who have terrible track records with fact-checkers.
