'A conservative watchdog group'?

Hilarious. 'Watchdog group' as in wishful thinking group?

Be sure to update us.

The organization heading this investigation is the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), a conservative watchdog group.

And from Patriot News Alerts, no less?

History

Founded in 2017, Patriot News Alerts is a conservative news and opinion blog. According to their about page: “America is under attack from the inside. The Deep State, the liberal media, social-justice Hollywood, leftist colleges – we’re under attack from every possible direction. That’s why we’re fighting back. In the Information Age, the best weapon is better information. That’s why Patriot News Alerts was launched. To better inform the Americans who care about their country. You don’t have to rely on the leftists for your news. You can get the truth here.”

Patriot News Alerts does not list an editor, founder or owner on the website.

Funded by / Ownership

Patriot News Alerts is not transparent in ownership and the website is funded through online advertising.

Analysis / Bias

In review, Patriot News Alerts is a news and opinion blog that reports news with a right wing bias in both story selection and wording. Here are some sample headlines that utilize strong loaded words that favor the right: Study suggests Obamacare has killed people, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders obliterates CNN for attacks on military personnel, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders torches Senate Democrats over failure to protect American citizens. In general, Patriot News Alerts takes a current news story and then summarizes and editorialize it to favor the right. When it comes to sourcing they utilize a variety of mainstream media sources, as well as factually mixed right leaning sources such as the Daily Caller and Daily Wire.

A factual search reveals that Patriot News Alerts has failed some fact checks.
?“U.S. government reports record tax haul after Trump tax cuts spur economic growth.” – MOSTLY FALSE
?No, Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford isn’t linked to abortion pill – PANTS ON FIRE

Overall, we rate Patriot News Alerts, a borderline questionable Right Biased source based on story selection that always favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to two failed fact checks and a lack of transparency. (D. Van Zandt 12/30/2018)
