Analysis / Bias

In review, if DC Clothesline had a disclaimer that stated they were satire, that would be great. Unfortunately, that is not the case. They are passing off extreme right conspiracies, propaganda and outright fake news as real. You can pick any day of the week and find outrageous headlines that are either totally misleading or flat out false. Let’s look at a few headlines from today (3/15/2019).

Keep in mind this is just today. There is more fake news and conspiracies in the last 24 hours. In general, every story on this website is either 100% right-wing biased, propaganda, a debunked conspiracy theory, or straight-up fake news.
