Analysis / Bias
Tsarizm is a conservative imposter website that is designed to look like a legitimate news source. All of the websites use a similar design template.
The website publishes news related to Russia and Eastern Europe that routinely favors the right and denigrates the left, such as this: The Left Is Now Telling Us (Ukrainian) Nazis Aren’t So Bad After All. This article is republished from the factually mixed Mises Institute.
Editorially, all stories favor the right, particularly former President Trump, such as The Only Thing That Will End War In Ukraine, Bring World Peace, Is Donald Trump Back In The White House. At the same time, denigrating the left with conspiracy theories like this US Ambassador To Albania Goes Full Fascist In Support Of Soros-Enabled Socialist Government, Demonizes Populist Figure, Interferes In Elections.
Tsarizm also promotes Covid-19 disinformation. In general, this is an imposter website that promotes extreme right-wing conspiracy theories and pseudoscience.
Failed Fact Checks
- A third party has not fact-checked Tsarizm; however, other sources in the imposter network have failed checks.
Overall, we rate Tsarizm as an extreme right-biased imposter website and Questionable based on the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, poor sourcing, and false claims. (D. Van Zandt 11/24/2023)
