Analysis / Bias
In review, DavidHarrisJr.com publishes summarized news stories with the addition of conservative commentary. News stories utilize highly emotional wording that favors the right such as this: Here are Ten White People Who Helped Destroy Their Cities After the Death of George Floyd. This story is sourced from the factually mixed Daily Caller. Another story reads Traitor John Roberts…Unadulterated Liberal Hack in Charge of Supreme Court, which is unsourced. Story selection always favors the right and denigrates the left. In general, DavidHarrisJr.com promotes far-right propaganda and conspiracy theories, as evidenced below in failed fact checks.
