Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

Funded by / Ownership
The Politichicks website lacks transparency as they do not clearly disclose ownership, however it is assumed Ann-Marie Murrell and Morgan Brittany are co-owners. Revenue is derived through advertising and sponsored content.
Analysis / Bias
In review, the website publishes information that is both original and summarizes existing news stories. Headlines and articles vary from low biased to emotional such as this Insanity Is Alive And Catching. Outside of a cartoon, this story completely lacks sourcing to verifiable sources. They also report opinion content that is completely without sourced information to support the claims of the headline Very Possible: A Landslide Election For Donald Trump. While this argument is possible it lacks any premise to support it., which is a fallacy in philosophical and critical thinking or a very poor biased argument.
