Analysis / Bias

In review, Mike Adams goes by the name the Health Ranger, according to Rationalwiki. However, they point out dozens of cases where his claims are false. Besides promoting pseudoscience, Brighteon is an extreme right-wing biased that promotes false or misleading videos regarding vaccines, alternative health, and government conspiracies.

In general, all Mike Adam’s stories favor the right and promote pseudosciences 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 publish anti-vaccination propaganda and conspiracy theories. This source denies the consensus on climate change without evidence, as seen here: Climate change cultists are now taking over your local weather forecast.
