In the red rectangle of fabricated stories, propaganda and misleading info

headline: PROOF: 2018 MIDTERM ELECTIONS HACKED

The "proof" consist of 4 sentences and a 6 second title video.
Alex Jones says that the midterms were hacked because of the shutdown of facebook add and twitter accounts.
He claims that over 10,000 twitter accounts where targeted and deleted by the democratic party. The democrats spend 50% more on the election. But pro-life ads, conservative adds, independent voices were deleted or silenced on social media.

Credibility: none
There are no sources, no solid facts, no proof and it is just 4 delusional sentence and not an actual article.

They have some negative articles about the rebublicans e.x:
"These republicans were swept away in house election defeats"

original fact reporting/fact reporting

my experience: a nonbiased video about the case. Furthermore a description of some charactaristics of this elections - "The Blue Wave turned pink"

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/special-report-attorney-general-jeff-sessions-resigns-trumps-59038066

after the midterm elections Attorney General Jeff Sessions was forced to resign - charactaristic for the Trump adminstration. He has fired multiple from his original cabinet.

Democratic bias (left bias)

9/10 articels on the font page is about trump and has titels like:
"Trump Marketing Scam ACN Tied to Russia"
They are very political and has a negative focus on Donald Trump.

The blog was made in 2017, and has unknown sources. A lot of the content is about conspiracy theories and hoaxes, which makes the blog very controversial, 
but also because of their strong political opinion. There even was an article about the Trump-Russia situration and described it as "prescient as hell".
Their sources are unknown, which makes Partibotics a very unreliable source. ]]> 2018-11-08 08:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pc17/q2c9zk5esji3/wish/301932368 DailyMail (Caroline) caro5505 https://padlet.com/pc17/q2c9zk5esji3/wish/301932580 Skews right
