CONSPIRACY-PSEUDOSCIENCE
Sources in the Conspiracy-Pseudoscience category may publish unverifiable information that is not always supported by evidence. These sources may be untrustworthy for credible/verifiable information; therefore, fact-checking and further investigation are recommended on a per-article basis when obtaining information from these sources. See all Conspiracy-Pseudoscience sources.
- Overall, we rate The Phaser as an extreme right-biased conspiracy and pseudoscience site based on the routine publication of false, unverified, and frequently debunked information.

Analysis / Bias
The Phaser exhibits a clear preference for alternative narratives, often diverging from mainstream reporting. For example, it has categories such as NWO, WW3, GMO, Geoengineering, and Agenda 21. Typical news stories promote conspiracy theories and pseudoscience like this: MIND CONTROLLING THE MASSES and THE WORLD AWAKENS TO WEF’s PLAN TO POISON OUR FOOD SUPPLY. Neither of these is true.
The Phaser does not produce original content but links to videos and news stories from questionable, conspiracy, and pseudoscience websites such as Redacted, Banned Video, Gateway Pundit, and Natural News. These sources have poor track records with fact-checkers.
Editorially, the conspiracies and pseudoscience they promote often align with a far-right perspective often glorifying Donald Trump and Russia like this: TRUMP B*TCH SLAPS ABC’S GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS! and PUTIN ISSUES DEVASTATING WARNING TO NATO AND U.S.: DON’T EVEN TRY IT!!
In general, almost everything on this site is either false, unproven, or misleading.
Failed Fact Checks
- They have not been fact-checked by a third party as they do not produce original content. However, the sources they rely on are notorious for promoting disinformation, propaganda, conspiracy theories, and pseudoscience.
Overall, we rate The Phaser as an extreme right-biased conspiracy and pseudoscience site based on the routine publication of false, unverified, and frequently debunked information. (D. Van Zandt 04/01/2024)
