Analysis / Bias

In review, the website publishes news and commentary by Gregg Jarrett and unnamed staff. News reported by staff utilizes moderately loaded headlines that favor the right such as this: Pelosi Can’t Be Bothered to Read Trump’s Letter Before Impeachment Vote, and this Trump Rips Pelosi’s ‘Stupid’ Impeachment Effort at Pennsylvania Rally. This latter story links to Hannity.com as a source of information. Sean Hannity has a poor fact-check record, with 50% of his claims being Mostly False to Pants on Fire, according to Politifact.

Editorially, the website features an opinion section that Gregg Jarrett exclusively writes. The commentaries hold an extreme pro-Trump bias, often referring to the Trump investigations as a Witch Hunt:

Finally, the website has promoted election fraud conspiracies such as, ‘ WHY ARE THEY HIDING?’: Dominion Cancels Hearing Appearance In PA. There is no evidence of fraud by Dominion; in fact, they are suing many news outlets and personalities for defamation based on false claims.

In general, all editorials favor the right, specifically Donald Trump, while consistently denigrating the left with loaded emotional wording.

Failed Fact Checks

“The FBI has become America’s secret police … like the old KGB.” – Pants on Fire
