History

Founded in 2013, Intellihub is a far-right conspiracy site that promotes debunked and false claims. The website was founded by Shepard Ambellas, who states on the about page “is one of the few independent (alternative) news personalities to have his work picked up by the Drudge Report for his news teams provocative Bilderberg Group coverage in Chantilly, Virginia in June of 2012. The Drudge Report headline article “Alternative Media Group Plans Wall-to-Wall Bilderberg Coverage” was later spotlighted on the Alex Jones Radio Show by Alex Jones himself when talking about “the power of Drudge“.

Analysis / Bias

In review, Intellihub publishes original reporting as well as republishes from discredited sources such as Natural News, ZeroHedge, and Infowars. Original reporting often lacks transparency as they do not name authors and utilizes loaded emotional language that always favors the right such as this Portland Police find themselves in ground war against BLM protesters. 

Intellihub frequently promotes conspiracy theories such as the Clintons murdering those who allegedly may expose them, as well as the debunked Pizzagate and 9-11 conspiracies. In general, this is a completely unreliable site for factual information that frequently promotes far-right conspiracy theories that are either unproven or false. See above and below.
