Analysis / Bias
Wine Press News publishes news summaries and articles from other sources, often interjecting their own opinions. Stories tend to favor the Christian right like this Abortions Increased In US Defying Bans, Sees Large Increases In Sanctuary States. This is sourced from CBS News. At the end of the article, the author provides biased commentary that uses emotionally charged wording like this: “The transgressions and shedding of innocent blood to this magnitude, on just this alone and not even including all the other atrocities this country commits, will not be forgotten and pardoned; and the fierce judgment from the Lord is rapidly soon approaching.”
Politically, they report negatively on the Biden administration, as evidenced in this story New Study Estimates US Has 13.7 Million Illegal Aliens, 37% Increase Since Biden Took Office, Larger Than 33 State’s Individual Populations. This information is derived from the Center for Immigration Studies, which is rated Questionable by MBFC “based on publishing misleading information (propaganda) regarding immigration and ties either directly or indirectly to the John Tanton Network, a known White Nationalist.”
Although this source usually praises former President Trump, it does criticize him as found in this article: Trump Shares Blasphemous Video Called ‘God Made Trump,’ Calling Him ‘A Shepherd To Mankind Who Will Never Leave Nor Forsake Them’. The author states, “Trump is certainly not the antichrist, but is unquestionably an antichrist.”
When it comes to science, this source heavily promotes pseudoscience such as this Japanese Preprint Study Calls For MRNA Vaccines To Be Suspended Over Blood Bank Contamination And Transfusion Worries. This story comes from the Epoch Times, which frequently promotes disinformation regarding Covid-19. The referenced paper is a pre-print, that was not peer-reviewed, expressing concern that blood donations from mRNA vaccine recipients and people suffering from long COVID could be harmful and proposing regulations. Further, the Japanese ministry said excess deaths in Japan began rising before COVID vaccinations were rolled out and there is no evidence the shots were causing them.
Finally, Wine Press News often promotes conspiracy theories, especially as it relates to the World Economic Forum World Economic Forum To Convene Special Summit In September To ‘Accelerate’ Agenda 2030 And Great Reset Goals After Poor United Nations SDG Report. The “Great Reset” conspiracy theory suggests a global elite is planning to use the COVID-19 pandemic to impose a totalitarian world government and abolish personal freedoms. However, it’s unproven because it’s based on misinterpretations of the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” initiative, which aims for a sustainable and inclusive post-pandemic recovery, not a global takeover.
In general, Wine Press News is a Christian Right website that promotes conspiracy theories and pseudoscience.
