Less than a year from the 2024 election, the latest polls show that some two-thirds of Republicans falsely believe that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.
Gateway Pundit’s influence helps explain why, experts in disinformation say.
Though the site employs only a handful of regular writers, it has played an outsize role in popularizing false claims.
“Gateway Pundit is a known source of disinformation that quickly trades up the chain,” said Joan Donovan, an assistant professor at Boston University studying online disinformation and media manipulation.
“Because when they report a piece of information, it gives others license to do so.”
The site’s founder, Jim Hoft, who started blogging as a hobby in 2004, is among “the best at creating a right-wing echo system,” right-wing podcast host and former Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon said in an interview.
Hoft did not respond to requests to be interviewed for this report.
