Detailed Report

Country: Unknown
History
The domain anonews.co used to point to a conspiracy website allegedly published by the Anonymous collective. In 2019, it appears the website was taken over by an unknown group that publishes a variety of news stories. The website completely lacks transparency as they do not have an about page, name owners, or editors.
Funded by / Ownership
Anonymous News does not disclose ownership and revenue is derived through advertising.
Analysis / Bias
In review, previous conspiracy content prior to 2019 has been removed from the site. Currently, Anonymous News publishes a mix of world, political, and sensationalized news stories. Articles and headlines often use moderate loaded emotional language such as this If Politicians Were Put On A Minimum Wage. In general, stories are sourced to mainstream media outlets such as The Guardian and Washington Post. It appears this site minimally active at this time.
Overall, we rate Anonymous News Questionable based on a complete lack of transparency. (D. Van Zandt 9/20/2016) Updated (8/7/2020)
