Analysis / Bias
The Reformed Media website aggregates news from external sources and direct links to the full story offsite. When reviewing news aggregation sites, we simply look at the sources they link to and calculate a score.
In review, Reformed Media links to primarily conservative websites that MBFC has rated as either extremely right biased, questionable, conspiracy related, and/or low in factual reporting. Besides linking to Tim Brown’s other websites, such as the Washington Standard and Guns in the News, they also link to well-known sources with poor track records. For example, they provide news from Breitbart (Questionable), ZeroHedge (Conspiracy), New York Post (Right-Mixed), New American (Right-Mixed), and Health Nut News (Pseudoscience).
In general, the sources Reformed Media uses all have poor track records with fact-checkers and hold far-right wing biases.
