Analysis / Bias
In review, American Truth Today is a typical extreme right publication that is not concerned with facts or veracity. For example, most stories favor the right and use loaded emotional language such as this: Rand Paul Trolls Adam Schiff With Mock Note: ‘This Was Found In’ Your ‘Hotel Room’. This story is sourced to the factually mixed Daily Wire. Another story is sourced to Sean Hannity who is considered the propaganda minister of the Trump administration: Lindsey Graham Shreds Pelosi and Schumer, Gives Prediction for 2020 Election. In general, all stories favor the right and denigrate the left such as this: Mitch McConnell Trolls Pelosi After She Makes Impeachment Pens. This story is sourced to tweets. In general, American Truth Today is a right wing propaganda source that is not concerned with evidence.
Overall, we rate American Truth Today Questionable, based on extreme right wing bias, promotion of propaganda, use of poor sources, and a lack of transparency. (D. Van Zandt 1/17/2020)
