In review, The American Conservative has argued against American interventionism, against a debt-based fiscal policy, and against the intrusions on Americans’ private lives by the institutions and mores that exist and the wisdom that underlies them. The American Conservative is a very well written source with a libertarian perspective.
The American Conservative presents news and opinions with moderately loaded language such as this: What Happens When Kim Stands Trump Up at the Altar? This story is very well sourced to Reuters and the National Interest. Although they are always opposed to Democratic Socialism, they also frequently report negatively on President Trump, especially as it relates to foreign policy. When it comes to science, The American Conservative supports the consensus of science with articles such as this: A Judgement By Fire. While they do not support the progressive agenda of a New Green Deal, they do acknowledge that action must be taken, albeit with a more free market approach. Regardless of solutions, TAC supports the consensus of science.
Editorially, which is essentially what TAC does, they support limited government, limited military presence in other countries and general nationalism. In other words, this is a libertarian/paleo-conservative organization.
A factual search reveals they have not failed a fact check.
Overall, we rate The American Conservative Right-Center Biased based on story selection that moderately favors the Right and does not hesitate to criticize Republicans (Trump) when not adhering to conservative policy. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact check record.
