It often criticizes Democrats and liberal policies while promoting conservative positions, such as this Sen. Blackburn Blasts the Left’s False Narratives.
The website employs strong language in its headlines and articles that favor conservative viewpoints, which may draw in a particular audience looking for news that supports their beliefs.
