Analysis / Bias
The Patriotic Times displays a clear conservative bias in its content selection and presentation. Headlines and articles frequently feature strong partisan language supportive of conservative causes and critical of liberal viewpoints such as this Recipient of Kamala’s Domestic Terrorist Fund Arrested for Murder. This story contains strong emotional language like this: “During the summer of 2020 when left-wing domestic terrorists were burning down major American cities, the most progressive Democrats helped pay bail for suspected criminals. Kamala Harris was one of those Democrats.” This is sourced from the questionable Breitbart.
Editorially, the website often promotes baseless conspiracy theories not rooted in evidence like this Gun Owner Joe Biden ‘Determined’ to Destroy Second Amendment. The Patriotic Times also promotes the unfounded claims of a stolen election like this: “Most Americans can clearly see the 2020 presidential election was rigged and stolen from Donald Trump. No amount of propaganda will change that; the evidence can no (longer) be ignored.” Finally, they promote pseudoscience when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines with stories such as this Big Pharma Sacrifices Children For Profit — Vaccine Madness In Full Swing.
In general, the site’s editorial stance is evident in its focus on topics and narratives popular within conservative circles, emphasizing themes such as governmental overreach, alleged patriotism, and criticism of the Democratic party.
