They seem like nice people.

Overall, we rate TruNews an extreme right website that promotes hate, tinfoil hat conspiracies, and pseudoscience.

TruNews is owned by Rick Wiles and is funded through donations and the sale of Rick Wiles books.

Analysis / Bias

In review, TruNews publishes far right conservative news and opinions that use strongly loaded emotional language such as this COUNTDOWN TO CHAOS? NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS DEPLOYED TO U.S. CITIES FOR ELECTION VIOLENCE. This story is unsourced. A review of numerous stories indicates that all favor the right and frequently denigrate the left such as this TRUNEWS PREDICTION: EXPECT PRESIDENT TRUMP VICTORY AND DEMOCRAT VIOLENCE.

The website and radio program frequently promote conspiracy theories aimed at Jews, Minorities, LGBTQ, and Immigrants. According to the Anti-Defamation League “TruNews is a fundamentalist Christian streaming news and opinion platform that has increasingly featured anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist content, and also has a long record of disseminating radical Islamophobic and anti-LGBTQ messages.” Further, Rick Wiles has called Trump’s Impeachment a “Jew Coup.” In general, they are best classified as a hate group.

When it comes to science they minimize the impact of human-influenced climate change Unhinged Child Climate Champion Blasts World Leaders at UN General Assembly and promote creationism TRUNEWS’ RICK WILES REBUKES PAT ROBERTSON’S CRITICISM OF ALABAMA’S ABORTION LAW. This is simply not a credible source on any level.

And mediabiasfactcheck is rather nice about the full shitshow of disinformation at www.trunews.com/ and their previous approaches on Facebook. They are among the worst of the worst. I nominate them here for /s/ShitpostNews.

So you figure the impeachment of President Trump was a "Jew Coup?" Tell us more. The first impeachment, the second, or both?
