Analysis / Bias

In review, Pravda Report covers Russian news, politics, and opinion from a pro-government perspective. They frequently promote propaganda in support of President Putin, while constantly denigrating the west and President Trump: The Trump regime is insane. This opinion piece is not sourced at all. 

Besides promoting nationalist propaganda, Pravda Report frequently promotes conspiracy theories and makes false claims such as promoting that the chemical attack in Syria was a false flag operation or that Aliens are visiting earth and having sex with people. In general, almost all content on this website is either misleading or false.
