Funded by / Ownership
Breaking Christian News indicates at the bottom of the pages that it is a division of Elijah List Publications, Inc., a part of the nonprofit Elijah List Ministries. The ministry is a prophetic ministry headed by the editor of Breaking Christian News, Steve Shultz, who also claims to be a prophet himself. Revenue is derived through advertising and an online store selling Christian books and merchandise.
Analysis / Bias
In review, Breaking Christian News primarily serves as a conservative Christian news aggregator. They typically republish summaries and occasionally full articles from other right-leaning sources such as Christian Headlines, LifeSiteNews, and Breitbart, each of which has poor track records with fact-checkers. Articles and headlines feature moderately loaded emotional language such as this: MAN DEFENDING HOME FROM ANGRY BLM PROTESTERS IS AN ATTORNEY WHO HAS FOUGHT POLICE BRUTALITY.
Editorially all stories favor the Christian Right, with many opposed to abortion ‘NONE MORE VULNERABLE THAN THE UNBORN’; TENNESSEE’S GOVERNOR WILL SIGN HEARTBEAT ABORTION BAN. They also promote conspiracies (Prophecies) such as this: ‘THE BIG RESET!’: GOD IS USING THE CURRENT CRISIS AS A CATALYST FOR GLOBAL GREAT AWAKENING; HOW GOD’S PEOPLE CAN PREPARE FOR HARVEST, as well as creationism propaganda.
Other topics of concern for them are the rise of Marxism and Black Lives Matter. Finally, Breaking Christian News also publishes inaccurate news regarding Coronavirus, such as this: GOOD NEWS: CORONAVIRUS IS NOW MUCH WEAKER, COULD DISAPPEAR WITHOUT VACCINE, TOP DOCTOR SAYS. This article claims that Covid-19 cases are declining when the opposite is occurring. They generally publish news that is not always factual and always right-biased.
