Before It's News
Before It's News (BIN) is a citizen journalism website with the stated intention of allowing anyone to write content and make it available online. The site soon attracted a large number of conspiracy theorists and became an outlet for what critics call an "unabashedly unhinged"[1] take on world events and religious prophecy. The site advertisers include many merchants selling survivalist supplies.
The site was founded in 2008 by dot com investor and Falun Gong practitioner Chris Kitze.[2] Before It's News describes itself as "People Powered News®"[3], and accepts stories from any political background, although its political stories are entirely from conservative viewpoints and BIN goes so far as to have a dedicated "Obama Birthplace Controversy" category. The website was said to come closer to mainstream acceptance when self-described "chart guy" Donald Trump held up a chart from BIN (which was said to be generally accurate) at one of his rallies.[4]
The site is used by some conspiracy theorists to promote their Youtube videos about their theories, with some articles being just a single Youtube video, and a significant amount of the site's content consists of bloggers reposting their stories with links back to their own site. Comments are enabled for most articles, and include numerous elements from what critics call crackpot theories, interwoven with indistinguishable Poe's Law trolling (site quote: "that footage isn't a UFO, it's Project Blue Beam").
The site also runs a podcast called BIN Radio. The Skeptical Humanities blog used Before It's News as a rich source of content for their "This Week In Conspiracy" series.
