JOE IMBRIANO IS THE FULLERTON INFORMER, AND BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW, WE DARE TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE.”

Analysis / Bias

In review, The Fullerton Informer is an over the top tin foil hat conspiracy website where they routinely promote misinformation such as this: THE CORONAVIRUS HOAX IS A MASSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE OPERATION TO USHER IN FORCED VACCINATIONS, QUARANTINES, RELOCATIONS, INCARCERATIONS, TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS, FORCED MEDICAL PROCEDURES, FOOD SHORTAGES, AND AN END TO ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS. This story is not sourced. Other topics discussed on this website are 5g dangers, anti-Mask propaganda, 9/11 hoax, and anti-vaccination misinformation. In general, almost everything on this website is false or deliberate misinformation.

Failed Fact Checks

Overall, we rate The Fullerton Informer a right-biased tinfoil hat conspiracy and quackery level pseudoscience website based on promoting false and/or debunked information. (D. Van Zandt 2/6/2021)
