Analysis / Bias
In review, Top Topic usually republishes right biased articles from other sources without giving credit (Plagiarism). For example, this story: AOC Might Be In Even Bigger Trouble Than Jussie Smollett For Her Lies About Boyfriend is taken word for word from the Questionable Federalist Papers Project. In general, there is zero sourcing of information on this website. Story selection always favors the right and denigrates the left. They also frequently publish pro-Trump propaganda stories from other questionable sources. Further, Top Topic has a Pants on Fire Claim from and IFCN fact checker.
