Just The News
U.S. right
Background
John Solomon launched Just The News in February 2020 after a career that included stints as an investigative reporter and opinion editor, including a controversial run as opinion editor at The Hill, where several of his Ukraine-related columns pushing since-discredited claims about the Biden family and 2016 election interference were later flagged by the outlet as lacking editorial oversight. Solomon has been a vocal ally of Donald Trump and figures in his orbit, and Just The News grew alongside a nightly companion show, 'Just the News, No Noise,' co-hosted with Amanda Head on the conservative network Real America's Voice. The outlet mixes original reporting, wire content, and opinion, with heavy focus on topics like election integrity claims, immigration, the Justice Department, and alleged government overreach. Media Bias/Fact Check rates it as right-biased with mixed factual reporting, citing failed fact-checks and promotion of contested or conspiratorial claims, and gives it a low overall credibility score despite high traffic. It operates as a for-profit, privately held venture without a transparent institutional or nonprofit funding structure, and Solomon has acknowledged interest from investors without naming them. Since the start of Trump's second term in January 2025, its coverage has generally aligned with and amplified the administration's messaging and priorities.
