History
According to their about page, “ALTNEWSMEDIA provides an alternative to the fake news mainstream media narrative. We firmly believe there is an extremely biased toxic (mainly liberal) media out there. Millions of ordinary people want news without the filter of bias – so if Trump does something good, it is praised; if he does something bad, it is criticized. Sounds obvious, doesn’t it, but who is actually doing it?”

Analysis / Bias
In review, AltNewsMedia reports news with a strong right bias. There is the moderate use of loaded words such as this: The latest climate report is not a serious document. Though this article is properly sourced to credible media, it also accuses the so-called liberal press of cherry-picking information to be alarmist with climate change. In effect, AltNewsMedia is creating the opposite narrative by minimizing the impact of human-caused climate change. While AltNewsMedia does not deny climate change, they certainly minimize what the consensus of science predicts will happen.
On immigration, AltNewsMedia also supports the right-wing position of limited immigration. Further, most of the news reported regarding USA politics is hostile toward Democrats. The website also promotes conspiracy theories such as this ‘Whoever Controls The Media, Controls The Mind.’ Further, they have spread false or misleading information concerning Covid-19 (see below)
