Instead, we curate those articles around themes so you can stay “on topic” instead of just bouncing around from topic to topic.”

Analysis / Bias
Liberty News mostly publishes aggregated/curated conservative news stories that link offsite. A review of sources indicates that many are not credible such as the Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, Zerohedge, American Thinker, and discredited Youtube videos. Although in the minority, they occasionally link to more credible outlets such as CNBC and Politico.
We could not find any original content. Therefore, Liberty News is a questionable source based on linking to sources that have failed 100s of fact checks.
Failed Fact Checks
- None by Liberty News, but 100s by the sources they curate news from.
