Analysis / Bias
The Ron Paul Liberty Report features commentary and YouTube videos by Ron Paul and his staff. Articles and headlines often contain loaded emotional wording that conveys a Libertarian perspective Strong Dollar? Weak Dollar? Stable Dollar? — The Fed Is Ruining The Dollar! While many articles deal with economics, others promote conspiracy theories and pseudoscience. For example, they have promoted anti-mask propaganda, which has resulted in false claims ratings by fact-checkers (see below).
The Liberty Report generally sources credible information. However, there are times that they source to far-right, questionable, or conspiracy websites. They also occasionally publish unsubstantiated claims, such as the Syria chemical attack being a false flag operation. In general, they promote free-market capitalism; however, they often promote far-right talking points such as this Do We Need A ‘9/11 Commission’ To Investigate The Fake ‘Insurrection’? The Ron Paul Liberty Report is right biased and sometimes not factual.
