Analysis / Bias
CDM Press demonstrates an extreme right-wing perspective through story selection, headlines, commentary, and recurring support for President Donald Trump. Current coverage frequently portrays Democrats, European governments, mainstream media, LGBTQ advocacy, climate policy, and international institutions in hostile or conspiratorial terms while presenting populist-right figures favorably.
For example, Nothing Has Changed, Elections Still Being Stolen promotes continuing claims of widespread election fraud, while another article states that the same “fraud machinery” that elected Joe Biden is preparing to seize Congress. These claims are presented without credible evidence establishing widespread election manipulation sufficient to determine national election outcomes.
The site also promotes health and scientific claims outside mainstream evidence. Its We Cannot Trust The CDC Estimates of Flu Vaccine Effectiveness reflects broad skepticism toward public-health authorities, while CDM republishes or features material from vaccine-skeptical organizations such as Children’s Health Defense and commentators known for unsupported claims regarding vaccine safety.
Other current headlines use phrases such as “globalist coup,” “climate push is a scam,” “European push for global war,” and “Zelensky regime,” demonstrating propaganda-style framing rather than neutral reporting. Although CDM maintains formal editorial and fact-checking policies and sometimes publishes original reporting, these standards are undermined by repeated promotion of conspiracy narratives, ideologically loaded sourcing, and unsupported or misleading claims.
Failed Fact Checks
- No significant direct fact-check record found from major IFCN-approved fact-checkers.
- However, CDM repeatedly promotes unsupported election-fraud claims, vaccine misinformation, and conspiracy narratives contradicted by established evidence.
Overall, we rate CDM Press Extreme Right Biased and Questionable based on strongly pro-Trump framing, election-fraud narratives, conspiracy content, pseudoscience, and propaganda-style reporting. We rate it Low for factual reporting because it repeatedly makes unsupported claims, selects poor sources, and promotes information that conflicts with established scientific and factual evidence.
