“... GP being wrong a lot ...”
I’ve heard this allegation, and I do see that Wikipedia considers TGP to be “fake news.” But I haven’t seen any examples. Can you provide examples of how TGP gets it wrong “a lot”?
I’m not just pushing back. I truly am interested in knowing how TGP has gotten the news reporting wrong.

Grok - Please provide 5 instances of incorrect reporting by The Gateway Pundit
The Gateway Pundit has been criticized for publishing inaccurate or misleading stories. Here are five documented instances of incorrect reporting, based on available information:
2020 Election Fraud in Rock County, Wisconsin: In November 2020, The Gateway Pundit claimed a software glitch during the U.S. presidential election caused 10,000 votes in Rock County, Wisconsin, to be “moved” from Donald Trump to Joe Biden. This was promoted by Eric Trump. The Associated Press clarified that the discrepancy stemmed from a technical error in their reporting of results from Rock County’s election website, resolved within minutes and unrelated to ballot counting. Rock County clerk Lisa Tollefson confirmed the report was false, and the county stood by the final tally.
Muskegon, Michigan Voter Fraud Claim (2020): In August 2023, The Gateway Pundit published a story alleging “massive 2020 voter fraud” in Muskegon, Michigan, involving burner phones, semiautomatic weapons, and fraudulent ballots, citing a police report. Muskegon City Clerk Ann Meisch, referenced in the story, stated the claims were untrue. The story misrepresented a case where a voter registration company submitted faulty applications, which were weeded out by Meisch’s staff, with no evidence of a broader conspiracy. Police and the FBI found no election subversion.
Las Vegas Shooting Misidentification (2017): After the Las Vegas mass shooting, The Gateway Pundit falsely identified the shooter as a Democrat who supported Rachel Maddow and anti-Trump groups, based on an incorrect Facebook page. The post, written by Joe Hoft, was removed shortly after, but not before being spread. The actual shooter was Stephen Paddock, and no such political affiliations were confirmed.
Charlottesville Attack Misidentification (2017): Following the 2017 Charlottesville attack, where James Alex Fields Jr. killed Heather Heyer, The Gateway Pundit wrongly claimed the perpetrator was an “anti-Trump protester,” citing a now-deleted tweet from an unverified X account. The story was removed without a retraction, spreading misinformation before the correct suspect was identified by police.
Jussie Smollett Hate Crime Hoax (2019): The Gateway Pundit reported the Jussie Smollett attack as a “hate hoax” the morning after it was announced, claiming it was “wildly absurd.” While the story was later proven to be a hoax, the initial report lacked evidence and relied on speculation, contributing to a pattern of premature conclusions. The outlet framed this as a vindication of their reporting instincts, but critics noted the lack of verified facts at the time of publication.
These examples reflect a pattern of premature or unverified claims, often corrected or retracted after scrutiny, contributing to The Gateway Pundit’s low credibility ratings by fact-checkers like Media Bias/Fact Check and PolitiFact. Always cross-check such reports with primary sources or reputable outlets to ensure accuracy.
Miller is a chair-tossing, table-flipping Patriot.
I was too. Do we know how a CJ is decided? Or why he leap-frogged over others like Thomas?
BTTT
I can’t disagree. Miller is on fire.
I'm sure it's HUGH!
So, nothing came to mind for you?
You had to ask AI, which responded that TGP has published stories that question the 2020 election, which (as we all know) was the most secure in history?
Let me ask you, Nevada Patriot — what do you think of the 5th example provided by Grok? The Gateway Pundit reported the Jussie Smollett attack as a “hate hoax” the morning after it was announced, something AI says that TGP got wrong.
Do you think TGP got that story wrong?
I mean, I can ask Wikipedia how bad TGP is, and they’d be happy to give evidence. I was just wondering if any Freepers have personally seen TGP being wrong “a lot.”
The GP in their defense oftentimes write articles about people who are liars, so many times they are dealing with the wrong facts.
It is okay to be wrong once in a while. They have never had the reputation of the nation’s newspapers or nightly news who are DNC/CIA misinformation outlets.
He is a libtard. So is Coyney-Barrett.
Oh, great. Hack off the bigwig on the SC who can’t make up his mind which side he’s on.

Yeah... I’ll never forget Rush always referring to them as “The Huffing and Puffing-ton Post” due to their continual state of hyperventilation.
GP has far too much of that.
