History
Newsview publishes sensationalized conservative news that can best be described as mostly fake. They lack transparency as they do not name authors, disclose ownership or indicate a location. However, the domain demonstrates they are from Greece. The about page links to another website called Soro-Viral, which contains only Lorem Ipsum dummy text.

Analysis / Bias
Newsview is an anonymously published conservative news and opinion website that routinely publishes false and misleading claims. For example, they reported that Biden’s Climate Requirements: Cut 90% of Red Meat From Diet; Americans Can Only Eat One Burger Per Month, this was rated Pants on Fire by Politifact. This story was originally published by the Questionable Daily Mail and then amplified by Fox News.
They also frequently promote fear and false information regarding the Coronavirus such as this Juan O Savin: Will Vaccinated People Kill The Unvaccinated?? – Part 2 – Must Video. Further, they consistently use misleading headlines such as this that seem to indicate former President Trump is still in charge President Trump Alarms The Military To Secure The Arizona Election Audit. The sources used for their false claims come from conspiracy websites such as x22, Mike Lindell, and Truedefender.com. In general, almost all content on this website is extreme right biased and either false, misleading, conspiracy related, or fake.
Failed Fact Checks
- “U.S. military at the White House arresting Congress.” – Pants on Fire
Overall, we rate Newsview extreme right biased and Questionable based on the promotion of conspiracy theories and pseudoscience and consistently poorly sourced false information. This website fits the definition of fake news. (D. Van Zandt 4/27/2021)
