Analysis / Bias
Strange Sounds exhibits a strong right-leaning and conspiratorial bias in its content. Articles often frame global events as signs of impending crises or conspiracies, appealing to survivalist and skeptical audiences. For instance, in Those lightnings actually look like missile strikes on a radar…, they claim that this is “Geoengineered WEATHER WARFARE at its best…”
Editorially, they strongly favor the right and Donald Trump with baseless claims of election fraud like this: Now this is a GREAT political conspiracy… and this 15 million Democrats this morning… which claims that Trump won the election in 2020 even though not all the votes were counted at the time of this writing in the 2024 election.
The site relies primarily on alternative news sources, personal interpretations, and minimal verification, often lacking mainstream or scientifically supported sources. Many articles amplify speculative claims and unverified reports, which may lack factual grounding. In general, this source primarily only publishes conspiracy theories or pseudoscience.
