Funded by / Ownership
The Worldview Weekend Foundation (Brannon Howse) owns and publishes the website and radio/video content. Advertising, donations, and a shop that sells merchandise generate revenue. The majority of advertising is from Mike Lindell’s My Pillow company. Further, the website claims that donations are tax-deductible; however, the IRS revoked their tax-exempt status in May 2021 for not disclosing tax information for three years. Despite revoking their tax-exempt status, they still advertise that donations are tax-deductible, thereby deceiving donors.
Analysis / Bias
The Worldview Weekend website publishes radio/video content and news from a far-right conservative perspective. They routinely publish fear-based conspiracy theories related to communism, such as this Three Steps Communists Are Using to Carry Out Their on-Going Revolution in America. Another example of fear-based propaganda/conspiracies is this Four Distinguished And Retired FBI Agents Warn About the Marxist Revolution in America and Within The DOJ And FBI (Part One).
As mentioned above, Worldview Weekend frequently publishes false election fraud conspiracies such as those claimed by former President Trump and Mike Lindell. They also routinely publish false or misleading information regarding Covid-19 vaccines New Evidence That Covid Vaccines Can Cause A Rare, Untreatable Brain Disorder: Worldview Report Transcript For June 21, 2022. This story is sourced from the discredited pseudoscience organization Children’s Health Defense.
Editorially, the information provided on the website favor far-right conservative perspectives such as anti-abortion, fear of globalism, anti-LGBTQ, the Great Reset, and belief in biblical prophecy. Worldview Weekend generally promotes Far-Right conspiracy theories and pseudoscience that is usually misleading, unproven, or false.
