Analysis / Bias
Loomered.com often supports Republican figures and Former President Donald Trump while criticizing Democratic politicians and liberal viewpoints. Articles frequently use emotionally loaded language and framing that align with an extreme right perspective.
For example, the article “Exclusive: Kamala Harris Stages Fake Voter Interaction at Pittsburgh Spice Shop Owned by Pro-BLM, Anti-Republican Democrat Mega-Donor” alleges that Vice President Kamala Harris staged a fake voter interaction, suggesting deceit without providing verifiable evidence from neutral sources. The piece targets a Democratic figure and associates her with negative connotations related to BLM and political donations.
In another article, “Debunking Elected Democrats and the Mainstream Media Lies Against Laura Loomer,” Laura Loomer defends herself against criticisms from Democrats and mainstream media, labeling them as “lies.” The reliance on personal narratives over factual rebuttals indicates a biased perspective.
Generally, articles on loomered.com often lack credible sourcing, frequently relying on social media posts and circular references to support their claims. This results in assertions based on weak or recycled information without linking to reliable, independent sources. Further, The website often promotes conspiracy theories about elections, political figures, and social movements. Laura Loomer has promoted several conspiracy theories, including claims that the Parkland and Santa Fe school shootings were staged and the 9/11 attacks were an “inside job.” These controversial stances have contributed to her bans from major social media platforms and her reputation as a far-right activist.
Finally, the Southern Poverty Law Center has called Laura Loomer a White Nationalist and Islamaphobe.
