Background

John Solomon launched Just The News in January 2020 through his company Bentley Media Group LLC, positioning it as a 'fact-based, impartial' alternative to mainstream media. Solomon brought decades of experience from the Associated Press, The Washington Times, The Hill, and a stint as a Fox News contributor. His tenure at The Hill became controversial: in 2018 he was moved from reporting to opinion after colleagues raised internal concerns about his Ukraine-related reporting, which critics said promoted pro-Trump narratives and contained factual errors. Those stories became part of the backdrop for Trump's first impeachment proceedings, and House Intelligence Committee records showed Solomon had frequent contact with Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani. Since founding Just The News, Solomon has continued covering similar political terrain — FBI investigations, election integrity claims, and Democratic scandals — through web articles, video, and his podcast. Media Bias/Fact Check rates the outlet 'Far Right' with mixed factual reporting and designates it a 'questionable source,' citing failed fact checks and promotion of misinformation; AllSides assigned it a 'Lean Right' rating following a multipartisan review in October 2024. The outlet receives support from conservative donor networks, including the Informing America Foundation, in addition to advertising and reader contributions. Trump has shared Just The News links more than 220 times on Truth Social since January 2025 — more than any other outlet — reflecting its close alignment with the administration's messaging.
