2. Online publications are a lot like UK newspapers. They tend to cater for their readership. Not for me, but am sure that the more dedicated conspiracy theorists out there would lap some of this up
3. Your link doesn't work
Who checks the fact checkers? Who pays to run, fund and organise these "fact checking sites". It wouldn't be the government or a public relations company per chance, would it?
Off you go now and find out all about "fact checking" and why that is a thing and free speech isn't.
I'm sure you're smart enough to type " UK Column news" into a search engine, I'd also put money on the fact that you are using Google as your search engine, right? Try Duckduckgo instead.
try this link.

Yes and correct they all have their own agenda. You are currently listening to and reading one agenda, why not try another flavour?
None are true all have their own biases, but if you look at enough different sources you can come to a reasonably informed decision.
By the way "conspiracy theorist" is a derogative term similar to, rats, vermin and gypsies and that's how the 3rd Reich started their policy of dehumanisation. Less name calling please.
Wow.
Such irony...
First up, it's "Gypsies" not gypsies.
And let's not use groupings such as "rats, vermins & gypsies" please. That's a seriously bad look which I hope was accidental.
I refer you back to "10 stages of genocide" which you obviously didn't read.
Dehumanising and using derogative terms to describe people and their beliefs is nothing to be proud of. You are just as guilty, perhaps that's why you decided to defend the indefensible?
Your "10 stages of genocide"? Intellectually, interesting. The really difficult bit is deciding where and when it applies. Brave statement to be confident that you know better than me whether I read it.
On a separate note, I am part Gypsy. Consequently, I can be quite sensitive about the actions of the Third Reich.

CONSPIRACY-PSEUDOSCIENCE
Sources in the Conspiracy-Pseudoscience category may publish unverifiable information that is not always supported by evidence. These sources may be untrustworthy for credible/verifiable information; therefore, fact-checking and further investigation is recommended on a per article basis when obtaining information from these sources. See all Conspiracy-Pseudoscience sources.
Overall, we rate the UK Column a strong right-wing biased conspiracy website that frequently promotes false or misleading information.

Analysis / Bias
In review, UK Column uses loaded language both in their headlines and articles such as: ”Cameron and Obama’s Hired Thugs Now Butchering Their Way Through Syria.” This article, like many on the website, does not link to a single source. However, they sometimes utilize credible sources such as the NY Times, gov.uk and questionable sources such as the Daily Mail and conspiracy sites such as 21st Century Wire: “White Helmets.” When covering USA politics, the UK Column favors Donald Trump and his policies. They also promote conspiracy theories such as the New World Order, False Flag Operations, and World War 3. While the UK Column does produce credible, well-sourced news, they also promote conspiracy theories.
During the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020, they frequently published misinformation such as Lockdown Deaths, Not Covid Deaths. In this article, they state, “COVID-19 has been circulating for at least a year, and yet there was no notable increase in unseasonable mortality anywhere until Lockdown regimes were imposed between late February and late March 2020.” This statement is false as lockdowns have saved numerous lives. They have also promoted anti-mask propaganda with this statement, “Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signaling. They’re not even worn most of the time effectively.” This also is not true. In general, the UK Column is not a credible source of information that routinely publishes right-wing conspiracy theories.
Failed Fact Checks

Why does Tikay not fact check the posts by Haysie?
If you think several of us post conspiracies without even checking, then why not check Haysies posts out?
That is why, in addition to the Right believing it is Left Wing, the Left have always believed it is Right Wing. Which, logically, means that the BBC is doing something right.
The reality is that the BBC is (or at least tries very hard to be) centrist. So-it positions itself to the left of Right Wing thinkers, and vice versa.
You do not get a more "balanced" view by only adding someone more in line with your own thinking. Doesn't matter what your politics are. If you want to try and achieve "balance", that will only be achieved if you look at websites from BOTH sides of the spectrum.
Well I think I have.
The mainstream media needs fact checkers.
All fact checkers are biased.
Your news sources dont need fact checkers.
Why is that?
Do the reporters swear on the bible that they are telling the truth?
Or are there some unbiased fact checkers out there that only check your sources?
You assume that everyone on this forum uses Google.
That is very perceptive as 77% of search engine users worldwide, use Google.
Therefore a safe bet.
I fully expect that using an alternative search engine will completely change my life.
I cant wait.
Rats are vermin.
Duplication to include them both in the name calling.
Rarely have I seen such a condescending post.
Off you go....................
Maybe you are smart enough to type on another forum?
