Analysis / Bias
In review, the Conservative Matrix publishes commentary and summarized news stories by Phoenix Brooks. Articles and headlines often use loaded emotional language that favors the right such as this [VIDEO] Trump Derangement Syndrome On Full Display As Tik Tok “Influencer” Screams And Rants At Her Camera. This story is sourced from a Tik Tok video. In fact, many stories revolve around video, often from unknown sources. When it comes to sourcing, they utilize poor sources such as Pat Gray from The Blaze, Ben Shapiro from the Daily Wire, and Campus Reform, all of which we rate Mixed for factual reporting due to failed fact checks.
Editorially, all stories favor the Right and, in particular, Donald Trump and frequently denigrate the left with stories such as this [VIDEO] Ted Cruz Obliterates Twitter CEO At Congressional Hearing. The website also features a section called humor with stories such as this [VIDEO] What Police Interactions Look Like In BLM’s America. In general, the information reported is mostly factual; however, it is completely one-sided and propagandistic in its support for the right.
