In general, politically, all of Mike Adam’s stories favor the right and promote pseudoscience, such as chemtrails and the Sandy Hook shooting being a false flag: Sandy Hook was theater! Actor who played law enforcement sniper was recorded walking around carrying rifle by the magazine. Further, they routinely publish anti-vaccination propaganda and conspiracy theories.
