The Federalist has also promoted pseudoscience claiming that there is a link between Abortions and Breast Cancer. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists there is “no causal relationship between induced abortion and a subsequent increase in breast cancer risk.”
A factual search reveals that The Federalist has made a few verified false claims.
Obama twice described Americans as “lazy” during a town hall meeting in Laos. –
MOSTLY FALSE
“Longstanding whistleblower rules (were changed) just before submittal of the fake whistleblower report.” –
FALSE
“As we have learned, the Intel Inspector General (IG) changed the rule after the complaint was known in order to allow hearsay complaints, but the IG dishonestly backdated the rule change so that damage could be done to President Trump.” –
PANTS on FIRE (cites false Federalist report that was never corrected)
Overall, we rate The Federalist a borderline Questionable and far Right Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that always favor the right.
We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to the promotion pseudoscience and three failed fact checks. (8/8/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 03/30/2020)
