Conservative Brief

U.S. right

Background

Conservative Brief launched in early 2021 after Apse Media LLC was incorporated in Florida in December 2020, with Eugene Garan as CEO. The outlet operates with a skeleton staff of roughly three employees and functions primarily as a news aggregator and commentary site rather than a reporting organization. It gained notable attention in early 2022 when the newsletter Popular Information reported that it had surged to become one of the most-engaged outlets on Facebook, outpacing legacy news organizations in social interactions. The investigation found strong evidence that the site was paying a network of large, politically connected Facebook pages to share its content — a practice that would violate Facebook's rules against undisclosed paid promotion. The site publishes content supporting conservative and Republican causes and has consistently covered Trump favorably across both his first and second terms. Media Bias/Fact Check rates it Right in political bias and Mostly Factual in accuracy, distinguishing it from its near-namesake 'The Conservative Brief,' a separate, lower-credibility site rated Far Right. Apse Media LLC also operates the related site Explain America, suggesting a small portfolio of conservative digital properties under Garan's ownership.
