Analysis / Bias
NCPPR is an organization that promotes free-market libertarian philosophies, which also align with the conservative right on many issues, such as this A RED-STATE AGREEMENT CAN BREAK THE NCAA’S WOKE MONOPOLY. This story is sourced from poor sources such as The Federalist, Washington Times, and Revolver News.
When it comes to science, they deny a scientific consensus exists on the role of humans in global warming and question the credibility of scientists that have publicly defended the science on global warming. Further, during the Covid-19 pandemic, they have promoted false and misleading information such as this STUDY: CDC MANIPULATED COVID-19 DEATHS, VIOLATED FEDERAL LAWS. In general, all content aligns with the right and is not always factual.
