Analysis / Bias

The Mind Unleashed review typically republishes articles from other sources, some credible and others not, such as Zerohedge. They also accept submitted articles from readers. The website generally publishes news that leans left, some being factual and others false. For example, they promote the 9-11 conspiracy of controlled demolition, Chemtrails, anti-Vaxx propaganda, Mind Control…Well, you get the idea. In general, this is a very strong promoter of conspiracy theories and pseudoscience.
