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.
As of this update in 2023, they continue to report with a conservative bias referencing sources such as the questionable Americas Freedom Fighters, Clash Daily, and the Conservative Firing Line. This source has lost credibility and is now considered Questionable and low factual.
