Analysis / Bias
In review, the Australian National Review promotes pseudoscience, such as anti-vaccination and anti-gmo propaganda. In addition to these, they also publish conspiracy theories such as those involving ChemTrails. In many cases, they source from other conspiracy and pseudoscience websites, such as Food Babe and Natural News. In general, this is a strongly rated conspiracy and pseudoscience website that is low for factual information.
The Australian National Review has also promoted misinformation and conspiracy theories regarding covid-19, as demonstrated below in our failed fact checks.
