Sources listed in the Questionable Category may be very untrustworthy and should be fact checked on a per article basis. Please note sources on this list are not considered fake news unless specifically written in the reasoning section for that source. See all Questionable sources.
Reasoning: Extreme Right, Propaganda, Some Fake News
TheBreakingNews is a conservative news and opinion website. The site does not have an about page or any type of author information. TheBreakingNews uses excessive loaded emotional language that always favors the right such as this: “Jim Acosta attacks POTUS Trump’s uplifting speech to Texans – Trump supporters respond”. This headline portrays Jim Acosta (left) as doing something terrible to Trump, while at the same time praising Trump. This is a classic clickbait propaganda headline. TheBreakingNews attempts to source their information, but oftentimes it is to other Questionable extreme right websites such as Conservative 101. Lastly, TheBreakingNews has published a false claim via a fact-checker. Overall, we rate TheBreakingNews as a Questionable source due to extreme right bias, promotion of propaganda, and a poor track record with fact-checkers. (M. Huitsing 9/1/2017)
