Analysis / Bias
News Addicts does not produce original reporting, instead summarizing existing news stories from a conservative perspective like this Judge Issues BRUTAL Ruling Against DA Willis. Like many others reviewed, this story does not contain hyperlinked sourcing, resulting in plagiarism. Some stories are properly sourced from credible outlets and poor sources like the Gateway Pundit, which routinely fails fact checks.
Editorially, all stories favor the right and often promote debunked conspiracy theories like this unsourced story: West Virginia Secretary of State Drops a BOMBSHELL: ‘CIA Was Behind the Stolen 2020 Election’. There is no evidence to support a stolen 2020 election. They also frequently promote pseudoscientific disinformation regarding Covid-19 vaccines, as evidenced by failed fact checks below.
In general, News Addicts are far-right biased, and there is evidence provided that they have promoted conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, and false claims.
Failed Fact Checks
- Iceland has banned COVID-19 vaccines and cites sudden deaths. – False
- Japan Bans Covid Shots over Soaring Sudden Deaths. – False
Overall, we rate News Addicts as far-right biased and questionable based on the promotion of right-wing propaganda, conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, poor sourcing, a lack of transparency, and failed fact checks. (D. Van Zandt 03/29/2024)
