Outlet track record
The Epoch Times
U.S. right
The Epoch Times is a multinational media outlet founded and controlled by practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual movement, operating through the nonprofit Epoch Times Association. Its coverage leans clearly to the right, combining strong anti-Chinese Communist Party content with consistent support for conservative and Trump-aligned politics in the United States. The outlet has made some editorial corrections since mid-2024 under new leadership, but it has a documented history of amplifying conspiracy theories and misinformation, and its coverage of the Trump administration remains broadly supportive.
