Analysis / Bias
The National Patriot publishes common right-wing conspiracies such as claiming The Obamassiah – More Demon Than Deity. At the same time, many stories are simply fake news, such as Trouble Brewing in the Democratic Party, which is rated False by Snopes.
Articles in 2021 use highly loaded emotional wording that always favors the right and denigrates the left, such as this Afghanistan and The Deliberate Destruction of America. Like the others we reviewed, this article contains minimal hyperlinked sourcing to credible media outlets. Generally, news reporting is low factual and presented with extreme right bias.
