Analysis / Bias

Becker News promotes news and opinions that align with the right. Articles and headlines are often emotional and favor a conservative perspective such as this Pelosi Just Fined 4 House Members for Violating Mask Mandate, But Watch Her Walk Through a Crowd of Democrats. This story uses a variety of media outlets, including the questionable Breitbart.



Kyle Becker has spread debunked conspiracy theories through Twitter and written articles claiming that a facial recognition technology company had identified “Antifa” members among the insurrection and that others actually control President Biden. Further, after the 2020 Presidential election, Becker News has frequently promoted former President Trump’s election fraud conspiracy theories such as this Donald Trump Relays Urgent Message About ‘Massive Fraud’ in Arizona Election in New Interview. Finally, they have made false claims regarding President Biden and Covid-19 such as this Biden Becomes Laughing Stock as Only World Leader on Conference Call with a Mask On. In general, Becker News rarely publishes factual news and holds a far-right editorial bias.
