I see it on /r/all constantly nowadays from the_donald. The articles never have a name behind them. It's always "by admin." For some baffling reason other news agencies then pick up these stories and cite TruePundit as if it is a credible source.

Conservatives Run With Sketchy Conspiracy Website’s Utterly Baseless Claim Clinton Wanted To "Drone" Assange (Yes, this is from mediamatters. "Left wing shill site" "George Soros" etc. but at least there is a name and a face to the article)

TruePundit has been behind so many of these conspiracy theories lately:

On October 2, True Pundit posted an article claiming that during a meeting of “State’s top brass” in 2010 to discuss how to deal with Wikileaks, Clinton asked of Assange, “Can’t we just drone this guy?” The site only attributes the comment to anonymous “State Department sources.

RT, the international news network owned by the Russian government, picked up the True Pundit story. Wikileaks’ official Twitter account also promoted the story, as did Trump allies Alex Jones and Roger Stone. FoxNews.com cited the Wikileaks tweet in its report on Assange rescheduling the time of a proposed address this week.

True Pundit’s supposed scoop comes on the heels of months of laughable articles forwarding conspiracies about Clinton.

The site wrote that anonymous “NYPD sources” had told them that during the recent Commander-In-Chief Forum, Clinton was “sporting a mini earbud wired to receive stealth communications from her campaign handlers.” (That conspiracy was picked up by the Trump campaign, along with Alex Jones, the Drudge Report, and Fox’s Sean Hannity)

The site also promoted a YouTube video claiming to show Clinton “using hand signals to trigger Lester Holt” during the presidential debate. (This claim was held up by Fox News as an example of conspiracy theories that came out of the debate.)

True Pundit claimed that during the debate there was a “medical episode played off by Hillary Clinton’s frozen smile, shaking head and upper torso with her eyes closed” during which “a concerned Donald Trump can be seen mouthing the word ‘seizure’ to his family and campaign advisors.”

Here's Mediaite covering it: Fox News Now Reporting Anonymously Sourced Theory About Clinton’s ‘Earpiece’

On its home page FoxNews.com published a story reporting that Hillary Clinton wore an invisible earpiece, using the same dubious sourcing as a conspiracy theory site.

FoxNews.com cites as its only source a website called True Pundit, which, in turn, cites unnamed NYPD sources and (also unnamed) “experts familiar with the technology.” The InfoWars article also cited True Pundit as its only source.

The story on FoxNews.com does not have a byline. The True Pundit article also has no credited author — it is attributed to “admin.” True Pundit apparently has no masthead and lists no contact information for any of its staff.

It's so hilarious when I hear people rail against "the mainstream media" "the liberal media" and then get their information from sites like this. This is what journalism and news consumption has become.
