Yes, new media is being formed all over the world in order to fill the credibility gap left by the Democrat controlled bullshitting networks and other legacy gaslighting media. Get used to it.Oh, yes, that's another thing . . .
NaturalNews.com[note 2] and its sister sites are run by Michael Allen "Mike" Adams, B.S.[3] (1969 or 1967–)[4] (self-labeled "The Health Ranger") which promotes alternative medicine and related conspiracy theories.[5] The site particularly specializes in vaccine denial and the alleged vaccines-autism link,[6] AIDS/HIV denialism,[7] quack cancer treatments,[8] and conspiracy theories about "Big Pharma".[9] If there's an alternative medicine or alternative medical treatment out there, you can guarantee that NaturalNews has one article singing its praises to the sky and one more bashing the stupid "skeptics". A lot of the website's growth is due to its exposure on Facebook, where it had over 3.5 million followers[note 3] until it was banned (not for any of its content, mind you, but because it was violating Facebook's policy on spamming).[10]
Reviewing NaturalNews' vast ecosystem of websites shows that Adams has way too much money and spare time and wants to attract both left-wing moonbats interested in a "natural" lifestyle and right-wing wingnuts interested in guns and survivalism. Reading through Adams' discourse on a non-NaturalNews affiliated goldbug forum shows that Adams's personal allegiances are mainly with the latter,[1] which taken in totality indicates some level of disingenuousness since he's grifting both ends but only sympathizes with one end enough to speak frankly.
On Wikipedia, NaturalNews is not merely a deprecated source, never to be used for anything ("There is a near-unanimous consensus that the site repeatedly publishes false or fabricated information, including a large number of conspiracy theories."),[11] but is actually on the spam blacklist.[12]
In short: if you cite NaturalNews on any matter whatsoever, you are almost certainly wrong, as this website is so bad, so unreliable, and so dead-faced wrong that even other quacks think it's a quack site,[13] a feat of stupid that truly takes talent.
PS: CNN laid off hundreds a couple of months ago and are preparing to lay off hundreds more as we speak. Why, you ask? You and your friends are not enough people to support the failing venture. As is the way of the world, smart people are moving on while the mentally destitute are left blinded and helpless in the dust.
