Analysis / Bias
In review, VDARE promotes a far right-wing ideology that centers around white identity, racism, and anti-immigration. The website routinely supports white nationalism, such as the founder’s statements that United States immigration policy constitutes “Adolf Hitler’s posthumous revenge on America,” and he said he wished to return to the US immigration policies before 1965 when restrictions on non-whites were lifted, as “the US is a white nation.” In other words, VDARE is fearful of the Great Replacement Conspiracy. Articles and headlines often feature loaded wording such as this Voter Fraud In Pennsylvania: Forget About It, Jake. It’s Phillytown.
From an editorial perspective, all stories favor the far-right and endorse President Donald Trump, such as this Patrick J. Buchanan: Trumpism Lives On!
