History

Founded in 1995, Townhall is an American politically conservative website and print magazine that was previously published by the Heritage Foundation. In 2006, Townhall was purchased by Salem Media Group. According to their about page “Townhall.com is the #1 conservative website. Townhall.com pulls together political commentary and analysis from over 100 leading columnists and opinion leaders, research from 100 partner organizations, conservative talk-radio, and a community of millions of grassroots conservatives.” TownHall.com features commentary by various conservative columnists and guest commentary by politicians. Weekly contributors include Ben Shapiro, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Marina Medvin, John Stossel, Dennis Prager, and others. Guest contributors have included Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Lara Trump. The current editor is Jonathan Garthwaite.

Funded by / Ownership

Townhall is owned by Salem Media Group, which owns numerous right-leaning Christian based radio stations across the USA. According to Open Secrets Salem Media Group donates 100% to Republicans and right-leaning PACS. The website is funded through online advertising.

Analysis / Bias

In review, Townhall almost exclusively publishes news articles that favor conservatives and utilizes strongly loaded language such as this: Shove It, House Democrats: Another Trump-Russia Story Blows Up. This story is sourced to the left-leaning Axios and right-leaning Fox News. In another article with loaded language, by Rush Limbaugh’s brother David: Abortion Extremism Exposing Left’s Moral Contradictions, there is not a single source listed to support Mr. Limbaugh’s claims.

In general, Townhall presents story selection that always favors the right and uses negative wording to describe the left. There is little balance in story presentation with all information favoring the right without presenting a left perspective or counter-argument. The opinion columnists associated with Townhall have poor fact check records such as Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, and Ben Shapiro. Straight news reporting is generally sourced properly and factual, though worded to favor the right, while guest blog posts have a very poor track record with fact-checkers.

Overall, we rate Townhall Right Biased and Questionable based on consistent one-sided reporting that always favors the right and numerous failed fact checks. (7/19/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 8/20/2020)

And you have not refuted any.

So, are you as outraged at Biden’s lies? Or is it ‘selective outrage’?

Bad Bob Loc: Virginia

I read the article by by Liz Peek, "selective outrage" no. Maybe a little bias as a conservative commentator.

jeff smith

if you think that it's ok for the liberal wana-be's to sit there for 4 years and spew out lie after lie , then your not a very good American.

not the bought and paid for steele dosiee , by hitlary and the bimbocratic communist nationalist party , that for near3 years was used to try and convict President trump , as a Russian aide or that they colluded together to get him elcted . WHEN if the Russians REALLY wanted to get some one lected , why wouldn't it be hitlary ? she is the one with all of the obumers appointies that gave it the OK to sell Russia 20% of our uranium .
then the bimbos , did every thing they could with MORE LIES to impeach this President , with a bougus trial for a phone call .
WASN"T it commie joe who on vedio said to the then corrupte president of Ukraine , " you fire that procecutor and you get this 18 million dollars . you don't you wont get this money and i am leaving here in 6 hours " this was the procecuter that was investigating barrisma . the oil co. in Ukraine , where hunter was paid millions to be on the board WITH NO EXPERIENCE , of any kind in the oil industry .
