RIGHT BIAS

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

Overall, we rate The Epoch Times borderline Questionable and Right Biased based on editorial positions that consistently favor the right. We also rate them factually Mixed due to the publication of pseudoscience and the promotion of pro-Trump propaganda and conspiracy theories as well as failed fact checks.

History

The Epoch Times is an international, multi-language news media company in print and online. The Epoch Times first published in New York in April 2000 (in Chinese only) and the online edition in August 2000. In 2003, The Epoch Times launched an online edition in English, which began printing as a newspaper in New York in 2004. The Epoch Times is founded by John Tang and a group of Chinese-American Falun Gong practitioners. The Epoch Times publishes in 21 languages in 35 countries across five continents. Their focus topics includes sections for world and national news, op-eds, sports, entertainment, business, arts and culture, travel and health.

On December 20, 2019 it was reported that Facebook took down more than 600 accounts connected to the Epoch Times. According to an NBC News report “The network was called ‘The BL’ and was run by Vietnamese users posing as Americans, using fake photos generated by algorithms to simulate real identities. The Epoch Media group, which pushes a variety of pro-Trump conspiracy theories, spent $9.5 million on ads to spread content through the now-suspended pages and groups.”

Analysis / Bias

In review, The Epoch Times covers straight news reporting through the use of journalists and syndication through the Associated Press and Reuters. Typically, these stories are well sourced and reasonably low biased. However, when reporting on China they do reflect a strong anti-communism bias. The Epoch Times also uses loaded language that usually favors the right such as this: Why Media Organizations Can’t Let Go of the Fake Russia-Collusion Narrative.

Editorially, there is a very strong Pro-Trump bias, with almost all articles praising Trump and denigrating the left such as these Democratic Party: A Broken Kaleidoscope? and Five Reasons Trump’s Celebration of America Was Epic Display of Patriotism. According to an NBC News report the “outlet has spent more than $1.5 million on about 11,000 pro-Trump advertisements in the last six months, according to data from Facebook’s advertising archive — more than any organization outside of the Trump campaign itself, and more than most Democratic presidential candidates have spent on their own campaigns.” In general, straight news reporting is sourced and mostly low biased, however op-eds 100% favor the right with some promoting conspiracy theories.

A factual search shows that they have failed several fact checks.

Jack Andraka, 15, came up with a “100 percent accurate” cancer-detection method that was “168 times faster, 26,000 times less expensive, and 400 times more sensitive” than current methods. – False
Dubious Posts Tie Political Families to Ukraine Work – False
No, Yellowstone volcano’s eruption threat level did not increase in 2018 – False (Corrected)
Concerned artificial intelligence researchers hurriedly abandoned an experimental chatbot program after they realized that the bots were inventing their own language. – False
Did China’s Communist government create the novel coronavirus in a laboratory and release it into the world as a deadly bioweapon? – False (added 4/16/20)

Further, the Epoch Times has a section called Beyond Science that publishes pseudoscience news, such as Supernormal Abilities Developed Through Meditation: Dr. Dean Radin Discusses. Finally, the above referenced NBC News report states “In addition to claims that alien abductions are real and the drug epidemic was engineered by the “deep state,” the channel pushes the QAnon conspiracy theory, which falsely posits that the same “Spygate” cabal is a front for a global pedophile ring being taken down by Trump.”

Overall, we rate The Epoch Times borderline Questionable and Right Biased based on editorial positions that consistently favor the right. We also rate them factually Mixed due to the publication of pseudoscience and the promotion of pro-Trump propaganda and conspiracy theories as well as failed fact checks. (M.

Proverbs 10:18 He who conceals hatred has lying lips,
And he who spreads slander is a fool.

Facts. Dispute the facts. You can't or you have done it by now. Your fact checkers are biased. And your sources receive the same "mixed" rating.

I guess that makes you fool for calling me a racist. Slander you cannot prove.

Those blurbs for the Epoch Times have been showing up as promo's before YouTube clips. Fortunately you can click them off after 5 seconds. It's always some form of the glittery eyed smiling zealots speaking awkwardly about some amorphous threat.

Sounds like the anti-Trumpers since they decided to make fun of his weight gain.

Pelosi is lucky she didn't become amorphous with that ice cream freezer of hers.

Listen to the interview with Joe at the end of the video.

If you know that, why do you keep doing it, fool?


Hebrews 10:26-27 - For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

You are condemning your immortal soul. Repent!

Those ads seem so neutral and aimed for educated millennials.

Then you take a look at their "paper", which I have and they are so full of woooooo and hate.

You are the one doing it. I proved you were doing it. It was proven when you could not produce a racist quote from me and that the quote is question was not even racist.

Why you still lie about it should be all the proof anyone needs. You are a dishonest person with a rather large mouth. Look at it like your two accomplishments in life and you'll feel better.

That white woman's killer was sentenced to prison just last week - soooooo you're full of it. BTW her murderer was a PoC. So explain that one.

You're so full of it. Shame on you!

Nobody burned one thing down because of it. Is that a fact? It sure is.

You must be talking about truth. Yeah, I suppose I am.

Absolutely full of filth, its not even a news site. Shame on you.

Of course a white woman killed by a cop gets justice.

African Americans who get killed by cops? Not at all.

Proverbs 13:5 The righteous hate what is false, but the wicked make themselves a stench and bring shame on themselves.

Get back on topic. Stop making a stench.

Former Minnesota policeman convicted in fatal shooting of Australian woman

MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - A former Minneapolis police officer on Tuesday was found guilty of murder for fatally shooting an Australian woman from his patrol car while responding to her 2017 report of a possible sex assault near her home.

Mohamed Noor, 33, was convicted of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for killing 40-year-old Justine Ruszczyk Damond outside her home near Minneapolis. The incident drew international criticism, including from Australia’s prime minister, who called the incident “shocking.”

He was acquitted of second-degree intentional murder.

Noor sat silently through the reading of the verdict with his hands cupped, breathing heavily. The packed courtroom remained silent.

Noor was handcuffed and taken into custody after the jury’s decision.

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman told a news conference he expected Noor to face 12-1/2 years in prison for the murder charge and four years for the manslaughter charge when he is sentenced on June 7.

Stop reading crap and start reading news.

And as you can see it says so "Conservative Commentary and Satire"

Thanks Capt. Obvious

Is the cop under arrest? That looks like justice to me. Justice does not bring back the dead. Snort.
