I don’t know why GP is looked down on by some Freepers. They usually report things the lamestream media, Faux News, and Newsmax won’t report on.

Agreed. I like Gateway Pundit

Probably because they have that ridiculous Pundit in their name. This ain’t the 2000s anymore.

A lot of closet Trump Haters in the world we can’t do anything about that just keep moving forward and promoting GP when we can.

Count me in as a Gateway Pundit fan.

Admittedly they do have some problems. Everything is earthshaking. And their headlines often promise more than the article delivers.

So reading it thru my own ability to filter, I still check it several times a day. I love that it supports Trump and I do enjoy its enthusiasm.

They report a lot of things that aren’t in the least bit true with crazy, over the top hyperbolic headlines - the things that are true are just rehashes of things already widely known with hyperbolic headlines as well.

That’s why.

I sense that one of the reason Freepers look down on GP is because they almost always use click-bait terms like "BREAKING BIG" and "MASSIVE BOMBSHELL" in their headlines. The content of the articles never quite seems to measure up to the hyped-up superlatives.

It's as if they went to the Sean Hannity school of journalism

If they toned things down a bit, I think they'd get a little more respect.

I for one, do not look down on GP. Only problem with GP is their readership is less than 0.01% of voters, and MSM seldom if ever covers what GP reports.

Gateway Pundit and Conservative Treehouse destroyed their credibility in late October 2016 when they both posted "bombshell" reports that the NYPD had issued a warrant for Hillary Clinton's arrest in the Anthony Weiner case.

The reporting was ludicrous on its face. Some jackass on Twitter claimed he got the information from "a source inside the NYPD." I think CT reported it first as a breaking news story. Then GP cited the CT report and posted it as a breaking news story. Then it was all over the "conservative" web media -- with all these retards citing each other's report as the "confirmation" that the story was true.

It was pathetic to see it unfold here on FR back then.

I routinely ignore these websites nowadays.

I really do try to like GP, but the breathless, hyperventilating tone is annoying as heck. Often enough the “Bombshell” headlines turn out to be the cracking of twigs.

“I don’t know why GP is looked down on by some Freepers.”

because at least 70% of what they “report” is simply stolen lock, stock and barrel from an original report without attribution or with an attribution link that is deliberately broken ... that’s why ...
