Analysis / Bias

In review, The Conservative Nut uses minimally emotional wording in their headlines. The majority of stories and information favor the right, but unfortunately completely lack linked sourcing. While the articles published are generally well written and may very well be accurate, without hyperlinks or a source listing we cannot verify the information.

Overall, we rate The Conservative Nut Right Biased based on story selection that favors the right, and endorsements of strictly Republican candidates. Further, we rate them Mixed for factual reporting based on partnering with an organization that does not accept the consensus of science and also lack of sourcing to credible information. (M.
