Analysis / Bias
In review, American Partisan reports news with a conservative bias. They publish articles regarding guns such as “PSA AK-104: The Perfect Kalash?” and use sources such as palmettostatearmory.com. There is a strong use of emotionally loaded language, such as “Iran: Biden’s Vietnam.”
American Partisan utilizes factually mixed sources such as Al Jazeera and credible sources such as Council on Foreign Relations. Primarily they aggregate news from other sources via RSS. Most of the source feeds are from right-leaning questionable and conspiracy sources such as One America News Network (OAN), lewrockwell.com, Breitbart, ZeroHedge, Natural News, and InfoWars. They also use a few credible sources such as BBC, DW, and France 24. Further, the website carries articles by notable conservative writers such as Patrick Buchanan.
Editorially, they favor the conservative right and promote pseudoscience and conspiracy theories such as this Martin Armstrong: Bayer Head Admits COVID-19 Vaccine is Gene Therapy. The claim that the Covid vaccine alters DNA has been debunked numerous times. Finally, they also promote baseless election fraud claims from discredited sources such as Mike Lindell: Mike Lindell: Absolute Proof – Exposing Election Fraud and the Theft of America. Studies have concluded that there was no evidence of systematic election fraud.
In general, American Partisan is far-right biased and relies on poor sources who frequently fail fact checks and promotes right-wing propaganda and conspiracy theories.
