Analysis / Bias
In review, Godfather Politics is an extreme right wing website that publishes news and opinions that always favor the right and denigrate the left. There is over-the-top use of loaded language in headlines such as this: Christmas-Hating Leftists Launch War on Michigan Grade School’s Three Wise Men Display. They also routinely publish conspiracy theories such as those involving Hillary Clinton’s health…2 years after the election. When it comes to sourcing, they utilize discredited right wing conspiracy sites such as Infowars and the Gateway Pundit. In general, every story on this website is sensationalized and mostly misleading to fit the extreme right wing narrative.
Overall, we rate Godfather Politics Questionable based on extreme right wing bias, routine promotion of propaganda and conspiracy theories that are damaging to the left. (D. Van Zandt 12/7/2018)
