Analysis / Bias

Turley Talks exhibits a strong right-leaning bias in its content, with frequent favorable coverage of former President Trump and criticism of the Democratic Party. Headlines such as “Democrats PANIC as Trump Surges!” and “Woke Judge HUMILIATED as Trump Takes the Stand!” indicate a pattern of right-biased wording. The site also features content that aligns with right-wing populism and traditionalist sentiments.

The website’s articles often contain emotionally charged language that consistently favors conservative causes and personalities. For example, the site has articles with titles that claim a “Trump Victory INEVITABLE as DeSantis IMPLODES!” and discuss the “Pro Hamas Left SPLITTING the Dems,” which suggests a narrative that aligns with conservative and right-wing ideologies.

Finally, the website frequently promotes disinformation related to COVID-19, such as this Nobel Prize Awarded to Developers of Deadly Bioweapon and false claims regarding a stolen election in 2020: Trump’s Strategy to Stop the Steal in 2024! In general, Turley Talks is a far-right biased website that promotes propaganda and misinformation to further its agenda.
