Analysis / Bias

American Thinker consist of two sections, one is articles and the other one is blog. You can check out their archives Here.

In review, American Thinker uses strong emotionally loaded language in their headlines such as: “The Most Memorable Leftist Hypocrisies of 2017-8”. This article is authored by Robert Oscar Lopez who writes with extremely biased language: “The left is composed of horrible people. Most sane people realize this, even if they have friends on the dark side.” Another article with loaded wording is this one: “The Great Depression of 2019?” Although, they utilize credible sources such as thebalance.com, CNBC, New York Times, The Guardian and factually mixed sources such as LifeZette, Wall Street Journal, Human Events.com, they also utilize questionable sources to back their claims, such as Breitbart and non-credible conservative blogs such as michaelsavage.com.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, American Thinker has published Anti-LGBT articles, as well as those by prominent white nationalist, Jared Taylor. Further, American Thinker routinely publishes conspiracy theories, such as those by Pamela Geller, who is also on the SPLC’s hate watch list due to anti-Islam positions: Report: Obama said ‘I Am a Muslim’, which has been debunked as a false claim. They have also promoted conspiracies about the Seth Rich Murder and they have published numerous articles that are not supportive of the consensus of science, such as this one: The Hoax of ‘Climate Change’

• President Obama secretly signaled solidarity to African leaders at the White House using a Muslim hand gesture known as the ‘Shahada.’ – FALSE
• The state of New Jersey is currently conducting, or plans to conduct, house-to-house confiscations of banned high-capacity gun magazines. – FALSE

Overall, we rate the American Thinker, Questionable based on extreme right wing bias, promotion of conspiracy theories/pseudoscience, use of poor sources and failed fact checks. (7/18/2016) (M. Huitsing 1/1/2019)

American Thinker - Media Bias/Fact Check

None of those 25 quotes were racist. And instead of using soundbites from that punk racist O'Reilly



The truth is what you call racist.

Plain and simple....

wright is a RACIST and so are you....

Wright is no racist. If blacks talking about our history causes you butthurt, all I can tell you is whites shouldn't have done what they did, and really need to stop doing it now.

You are such a racist Tard.....

There is nothing wrong with talking about history.

There is nothing we can do about the past and Racist

like you only want to poison the future for your political agenda.

You act like we are still in the 1800's

Since white racists like you exist today, we are not talking about the past.

Understand?

Well, as the OP suggested, I have cleaned up my house, seeing how the wife is gone until tomorrow, and I've got one closet left to clean but I can't get the OP to come out of it.

Conservatism has become a joke. The term has been hijacked. In this forum there are perhaps a few real, legitimate conservatives. The rest are right wing or alt right racists. Conservatism is not about using the force of government to deny rights. Nor is conservatism about using the force of government to deny, expression, peaceful protest, religious liberty, free speech, freedom of the press, equal protection of all Americans, voter suppression or almost everything most conservatives here endorse.

Maybe it's time for conservatives to return to an emphasis on controlling excess government spending. Perhaps it's time to purge the conservative population of CINOS who want ethnic cleansing and a whites only nation.

Only your opinion-which is weak at best

You one of the CINOS so I expect you to disagree.

Not a conservative, so you are wrong again. Try reading a book, and when you learn something come back and post then.

No one is for illegal immigrants... however some are for free health care for illegal immigrants.

Bullshit. The other night during the Dem debate the moderators asked for a show of hands: "Who's for free health care for the illegals"? All of 'em raised their hands; that ain't some, that's ALL of them. Not one Dem candidate opposes it, NOT ONE. So, no one is for illegal immigrants? Bullshit. Many on the Left want to decriminalize those who cross the border illegally.

On the first night of the Democratic debates, Julian Castro made a big issue of his call to repeal Section 1325 of Title 8 of the United States Code, which says it’s a federal crime to enter the country without authorization. This felt like a ploy for attention from the periphery of the second-tier debate stage, yet last night seven out of the ten candidates raised their hands for the idea, including top contenders Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg.

Ever hear of sanctuary cities? Some places want to give the illegals a driver's license and the right to vote. They want to get rid of ICE, so there's no enforcement for our immigration laws that they want to eliminate anyway.

Asked if an illegal immigrant in the interior of the country who hasn’t committed another crime should be deported, Joe Biden replied that such a person “should not be the focus of deportation.” Kamala Harris said he “absolutely” should not be deported, and Representative Eric Swalwell said “that person can be part of this great American experience.” This is a promise to gut interior enforcement that, coupled with the latitudinarian attitude at the border, would be a huge step toward open borders.

A year ago the HoR did this. Does anyone think they would vote differently now, except maybe fewer YES or PRESENT votes?

On Wednesday, the House voted on a bill that simply expressed Congress' "continued support for all United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and personnel who carry out the important mission of ICE" and "the efforts of all Federal agencies, State law enforcement, and military personnel who bring law and order to our Nation's borders."

Such nonbinding resolutions don't have the force of law. They're just a statement.

Just 18 Democrats voted for this resolution. And the other 133 dodged the issue altogether by voting "present."

Democrats want a "catch and release" policy, knowing almost none of these people will show up for their court hearing. Sounds a lot like 'Open Borders" to me, they just don't have the balls to come out and say so. They are against the wall and for Amnesty, and you're telling me no one is for illegal immigrants? Bull Fucking Shit.

We have a wall. Democrats are for using modern technology at the border.

No, they are for open borders or they would present Trump a tech bill for the border he would sign in a second. Don't try to defend weak arguments.

They did. He turned it down because there was no money for the wall. Don't talk that open border shit. Tell Trump to go to Mexico and get the money for the wall.

Why does the Democrat call for open borders bother you? Both Hillary during the campaign and Beto on the border said it. We may not get a brick wall, so we'll have to beef up ICE and drag the pigs out kicking and screaming.And Mexico is pying for a HUMAN wall with all the soldiers they sent to their southern border. Good work, Trump.

Well I will agree with you about this: there are a lot of white supremacist racists on this forum, a surprising amount. If you just go by this forum you would think that all conservatives are hiding racist tendencies. But then, if I went by this site I might think a lot of black people really hate and resent whites too, and I know that's not true.

It's the Internet.

So that's for starters.

As for enders: I don't think it's conservatism that has so worry about becoming "a joke". We currently have the presidency, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. Democrats have the House but by a tenuous thread--there's a vicious fight as you must know. Not only that, but you have a weak group of contenders for president here in 2020. So I really don't think conservatism is the "joke" here.

I will address only a small part of your post. You said conservatives have the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court was never intended to be a political part of the government any more than the police were intended to be political. The law is the law, and should apply to all equally, and any court rulings should be based on that law, and not which political candidate the justices might support. I fear Trump's appointees will not base their decisions to the law.

Well you need to get your fears back to reality. Kav has already ruled against the republicans on the SCOTUS.

Do research.

Kavanaugh didn't rule against republicans. He ruled for the constitution, and that just happened to be opposite of what republicans wanted. I guess even a yes man like Kavanaugh can't give them everything they want.

So you just got done saying that "Trump appointees will not base their decisions on the law" and when I told you that you were wrong you admitted that Kav did rule in favor of the law, and he is a Trump appointee. So will you retract your previous statement because you know its a lie?

Let's see if it happens more than once.

There is nothing sillier than a racist white ho.

"The primary beneficiaries of affirmative action have been Euro-American women," wrote Columbia University law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw for the University of Michigan Law Review in 2006.

White women benefit most from affirmative action — and are among its fiercest opponents

The face of Fisher v. Texas, Abigail Fisher, is a young, educated and white woman who sought to undo affirmative action in the erroneous belief that the system limited her chances because of her race.

But if the court had dismantled affirmative action across the nation, Fisher, and many other white women like her, would have been sorely disappointed. The fact is that white women are disproportionately likely to benefit from affirmative action policies. You’d never know that from listening to Fisher — or her demographic.

But affirmative action has been quite beneficial to women, and disproportionately beneficial to white women. Women are now more likely to graduate with bachelor’s degrees and attend graduate school than men are and outnumber men on many college campuses. In 1970, just 7.6 percent of physicians in America were women; in 2002, that number had risen to 25.2 percent. But — and this is a big but — those benefits are more likely to accrue to white women than they are to women of color, and that imbalance has very real effects on employment and earnings later in life. In other words: affirmative action works, and it works way better for white women than it does for all the other women in America.

Affirmative Action Is Great For White Women. So Why Do They Hate It? | HuffPost

I can keep going. You are a prime beneficiary of Affirmative Action. So it's best that you be quiet and every time you see somebody black get on your knees and thank them for allowing your ass the freedom to leave the kitchen.

Primarily rightwing fear – fear of change, fear of diversity, fear of inclusion, and fear of expressions of individual liberty.

It's the left that wants to squash individual liberty and freedom of expression. Look what's happening on YouTube, Facebook and Nike. It's the left that wants to shut down talk radio, remove crosses, shut down conservatve speakers from universities. The left wants to punish bakers who don't want to use their artistry to make a certain kind of wedding cake.

The left want only the things they agree with to be allowed. We conservatives love diversity, we will allow anyone into our conservative tent. You can be of any color, race, sexual orientation and you can even have some differing beliefs. We believe in the free expression and open discussion of differing ideas. It's the left that wants to shut that down and force you to believe what they believe and support what they believe or else.

What you say is not being done.

Umm...you tube isn't shutting down some speech? Nike didn't shut down it's shoe production because someone from the left complained? The Freedom from Religion foundation Ong others aren't suing to have crosses removed? Those at college campuses haven't tried to shut down conservatve speakers? People have sued cake makers?

Where have you been?

Plain and simple....

wright is a RACIST and so are you....

Wright is no racist. If blacks talking about our history causes you butthurt, all I can tell you is whites shouldn't have done what they did, and really need to stop doing it now.

You are such a racist Tard.....

There is nothing wrong with talking about history.

There is nothing we can do about the past and Racist

like you only want to poison the future for your political agenda.

You act like we are still in the 1800's

Since white racists like you exist today, we are not talking about the past.

Understand?

Show me one single thing I have ever said that is racist....

You can't because it ain't so...………...

There is nothing sillier than a racist white ho.

"The primary beneficiaries of affirmative action have been Euro-American women," wrote Columbia University law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw for the University of Michigan Law Review in 2006.

White women benefit most from affirmative action — and are among its fiercest opponents

The face of Fisher v. Texas, Abigail Fisher, is a young, educated and white woman who sought to undo affirmative action in the erroneous belief that the system limited her chances because of her race.

But if the court had dismantled affirmative action across the nation, Fisher, and many other white women like her, would have been sorely disappointed. The fact is that white women are disproportionately likely to benefit from affirmative action policies. You’d never know that from listening to Fisher — or her demographic.

But affirmative action has been quite beneficial to women, and disproportionately beneficial to white women. Women are now more likely to graduate with bachelor’s degrees and attend graduate school than men are and outnumber men on many college campuses. In 1970, just 7.6 percent of physicians in America were women; in 2002, that number had risen to 25.2 percent. But — and this is a big but — those benefits are more likely to accrue to white women than they are to women of color, and that imbalance has very real effects on employment and earnings later in life. In other words: affirmative action works, and it works way better for white women than it does for all the other women in America.

Affirmative Action Is Great For White Women. So Why Do They Hate It? | HuffPost

I can keep going. You are a prime beneficiary of Affirmative Action. So it's best that you be quiet and every time you see somebody black get on your knees and thank them for allowing your ass the freedom to leave the kitchen.

What went wrong with the Democrat plan to raise up the negro? I thought AA was better than reparations.

No, they are for open borders or they would present Trump a tech bill for the border he would sign in a second. Don't try to defend weak arguments.

They did. He turned it down because there was no money for the wall. Don't talk that open border shit. Tell Trump to go to Mexico and get the money for the wall.

Why does the Democrat call for open borders bother you? Both Hillary during the campaign and Beto on the border said it. We may not get a brick wall, so we'll have to beef up ICE and drag the pigs out kicking and screaming.And Mexico is pying for a HUMAN wall with all the soldiers they sent to their southern border. Good work, Trump.

It doesn't because there is no such call. So when will Trump get Mexico to pay for the wall? Trump said that during his campaign everywhere he went. But then again:

I agree-I am an Independent-both Republicans and Democrats have dumb people. Hillary said "open borders-I was going to vote for her till then, and Beto, well Beto is just Beto-he has a "Welcome illegals" sign in his living room. There will be no wall as I said during the campaign, but we have 22 million illegals we need to drop kick back to s**t hole land.

Independents are not free from stupidity.

I am.
