Analysis / Bias
In review, The Conservative Papers is a website that promotes the conservative platform and Donald Trump. Story selection always favors the right such as this: COVID-19 Illegal Aliens Demand $1.2K Each in Taxpayer-Funded Checks. This story is sourced back to the Questionable Breitbart and therefore is Questionable. Some other sources used by this site is the right leaning Daily Signal, the Questionable CNS News and Free Patriot.org. In general all stories favor the right and denigrate the left such as this Does Joe Biden Have Dementia? Does It Matter? In general, the Conservative Paper is misleading and uses poor sources.
