Analysis / Bias
Thought Crime Radio is an overt Conspiracy and Pseudoscience website. They routinely publish anti-vaccination propaganda from other pseudoscience sources such as this: STUDIES OUTSIDE THE U.S. SHOW UNVACCINATED CHILDREN HEALTHIER THAN VACCINATED CHILDREN. The source for this article is the fiercely anti-vaccine Health Impact News. Thought Crime Radio also publishes numerous 9-11 conspiracies and Chemtrails and False Flag operations. TCR also frequently uses poor sources such as the right-wing conspiracy site Natural News. If it is a conspiracy, it is on this website.
In this review for 2022, we find nothing has changed as they still publish false information such as this GOFUNDME BLOCKS MILLIONS RAISED FOR TRUCKERS PROTESTING VAX MANDATES. This story is not true. In general, Thought Crime Radio is a crackpot conspiracy and pseudoscience website that favors an extreme right bias.
Failed Fact Checks
- Thought Crime Radio has not been directly fact-checked; however, the sources they use routinely fail fact checks and promote misinformation.
Overall, we rate Thought Crime Radio as extreme right-biased and a tin-foil hat conspiracy and quackery level pseudoscience website that consistently publishes demonstrably false information. (D. Van Zandt 3/12/2018) Updated (01/28/2022)
