Analysis / Bias
Nation and State do not appear to publish original content but rather serve as a curated news aggregation website. Typically, they publish a full article with a link to the source or a short snippet that links offsite to the source. Nation and State leave the original headlines, which often contain highly emotional wording that favors the right such as this LATEST BILL BARR TRUMP BACKSTABBING EXPOSED! FBI JUST GOT AWAY WITH ENTRAPMENT & A JUDGE HELPED THEM.
For news aggregation sites, we check the quality of the sources they utilize. In this case, Nation and State almost exclusively rely on far-right Questionable or Conspiracy websites such as American Thinker, Diamond and Silk, Truth in Media, DC Whispers, Gateway Pundit, and Zerohedge. Nation and State generally hold a far-right editorial bias through story selection and consistently rely on poor sources who routinely fail fact checks.
Failed Fact Checks
- A third party has not fact-checked them, but the sources they rely on routinely fail fact-checks.
Overall, we rate Nation and State Far-Right Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, the use of poor sources, and a lack of transparency. (D. Van Zandt 08/27/2022)
