Background

The Pirate's Cove has been online since at least 2004, which is the date of its earliest archived posts. The author uses the pseudonym William Teach, a reference to the pirate Edward Teach, known as Blackbeard. The site's about page and some reports identify the writer as Porter Good, though I could not verify this independently. The blog was ranked number 27 on Newsmax's list of the Top 50 Conservative Blogs of 2015. Its content is mostly short commentary posts and link roundups on politics, climate and energy policy, media criticism and culture-war topics. It also carries recurring light features such as pinup posts and 'If All You See...' image posts, and it has an active comment section. It is a one-person blog rather than a news organization, so it does little original reporting and relies on other outlets, often conservative ones. Readers should treat it as opinion and advocacy, not neutral news. I could not confirm details of its funding or any ownership changes, and my research for this profile was limited to a few searches.
