History
Founded in 2010, America’s Freedom Fighters is a news and opinion website with extreme right-wing bias in reporting. According to their about page, “THIS IS A WEBSITE DEDICATED TO TRUTH AND PATRIOTISM. EVERY PERSON WRITING ON HERE IS A LONG-TIME PATRIOT. GOD BLESS AMERICA.” The website does not disclose ownership or an editor; however, the name Dean James appears frequently as the author of articles.
At the bottom of articles, America’s Freedom Fighters exclaims:
“FACEBOOK HAS BANNED US!”
“The leftists at Facebook decided they didn’t like our message, so they removed our page and are censoring us. Help us fight back and subscribe to our newsletter so that you can stay up-to-date with everything Facebook doesn’t want you to see!”

Analysis / Bias
In review, America’s Freedom Fighters publishes extreme right news stories with loaded emotional language such as this: This Texas Rancher Is Obama’s Worst Nightmare… What He Says Should Wake Up America. This article contains strong opinions by the author, followed by a snippet of the original article, which comes from Qpolitical, a Questionable source. Other articles also have highly loaded language such as this, describing Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as “2 FILTHY SCUMBAGS.” Speaking of former President Obama, they were still promoting the birther conspiracy: BARRY SOETORO I.D.’s AND PHOTOS-YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!
When it comes to sourcing, they almost always use far-right or questionable sources such as Mad World News, SHTFplan, and Before It’s News. Editorially, they love former President Donald Trump. Throughout 2020-2023, they have promoted baseless election fraud claims and covid misinformation.
