TruNews is an American far-right[2] fake news website[1] and channel owned and hosted by Rick Wiles. TruNews frequently publishes conspiracy theories[12][13][14] in addition to racist, anti-LGBT, antisemitic, and Islamophobic content.[11] It has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[15]
Even more shockingly, perhaps is the headline from the far-right news source TruNews, "Rick Wiles: Liberals Intend to Put Conservatives in Concentration Camps." For the far right, schools are not just sites of liberal hegemony but indoctrination centers, camps, cultural marxist madrassas.
For American Jews, there was a locally grown accusation. It was made by Rick Wiles, the Florida-based founder and host of the far-right Christian channel called TruNews. Wiles blamed Judaism for the spread of coronavirus: "There is a plague moving upon the Earth right now, and the people that are going into the synagogues are coming out with the virus. You are under judgment because you oppose his son, Jesus Christ. That is why you have a plague in your synagogues."

TruNews è un canale televisivo online americano basato sulle notizie false e le teorie del complotto, ma non solo: tra i contenuti pubblicati troviamo omofobia, odio razziale e religioso, incluso l'antisemitismo. Il suo fondatore e proprietario, il pastore cristiano Rick Wiles, ha sostenuto la tesi degli Stati Uniti controllati da un gruppo di sionisti satanisti e le teorie del complotto sulla Covid19, soprattutto quelle NoVax, un'accozzaglia di contenuti comuni alla narrativa QAnon.[TruNews is an American online TV channel based on fake news and conspiracy theories, but not only that: among its published content we find homophobia, racial and religious hatred, including anti-Semitism. Its founder and owner, Christian pastor Rick Wiles, has supported the thesis of the U.S. being controlled by a group of Satanist Zionists and conspiracy theories on COVID-19, especially the NoVax ones, a hodgepodge of content common to the QAnon narrative.]
TruNews is a fundamentalist Christian streaming news and opinion platform that has increasingly featured anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist content, and also has a long record of disseminating radical Islamophobic and anti-LGBTQ messages.
Mr Wiles has used the TruNews platform to peddle conspiracy theories and push racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic content.
TruNews, which Mr. Wiles founded as an online radio program in 1999 called America's Hope, has a history of spreading conspiracy theories and proclaiming an imminent apocalypse. I
