Analysis / Bias
In recent years, London Real has demonstrated a significant tilt towards extreme right-wing viewpoints. It is characterized by its critique of mainstream narratives and hosting content that resonates with right-leaning ideologies and conspiracy theories. For instance, the podcast “Lizard People & The Illuminati,” featuring David Icke, discusses global control by secret societies. Moreover, in 2020, London Real aired an interview with David Icke, where he presented conspiracy theories about the coronavirus, leading to an urgent investigation by Ofcom due to concerns over misinformation.
Additionally, a podcast named “America Is Broken: Here’s How We Fix It” featured Grant Cardone, who suggested that financial crises and wars are opportunities and stated, “I believe Donald Trump will stop both wars, both the war in Israel and the war in Ukraine, within 90 days of being elected,” reflecting the platform’s alignment with right-leaning political viewpoints.
Interviews with figures like General Michael Flynn, known for criticizing mainstream media and progressive policies, further indicate the platform’s ideological leanings. The podcast episode titled: “Manipulated & Misled – Why We Must Stand Up To Government, Big Tech & Mainstream Media Lies” featuring Dr. Robert Malone is a clear example of London Real challenging the established scientific consensus, particularly around COVID-19 vaccines. Dr. Malone, who is known for his anti-vaccine stance and promotion of misinformation related to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, uses this platform to disseminate contentious and debunked scientific claims.
In general, the selection of topics and guests reflects a content pattern that often challenges established scientific consensus and mainstream political thought. London Real is positioned as a conspiracy and pseudoscience site that routinely publishes false and misleading claims, as evidenced by numerous failed fact checks.
