Analysis / Bias
In review, the Dissident Mag website news and commentary that are extreme right and white nationalist such as this: Jews Sound Alarm to American Immigration Opposition by Demanding More Immigration. This story is properly sourced from credible media outlets.
The fear of white oppression and right-wing conspiracy replacement theory is a common conspiracy theory found on the website such as this: GREAT REPLACEMENT: Jewish Groups Use Lutheran NGOs to Bring ‘Refugees’ Like Jupiter Paulsen’s Killer to the Midwest.
Editorially, the opinion pages consist of extreme right views such as this: The Best Doctor Ever, which attempts to paint a positive picture of Nazi doctor (murderer) Josef Mengele. Although this site is adamantly opposed to the left, they also criticize former President Donald Trump for not being extreme enough, such as this: Trump Turned on His Voters—Now No One Wants Him. In general, Dissident Mag is a white nationalist, fascist neo-Nazi group.
