    How Factual Is The Federalist?
    The Federalist scored an average Factual Grade of 56.0%, placing the site in the 19th percentile of our dataset. Several factors contribute to these low overall scores. First, articles rarely include links to supporting evidence, and when such links do appear, they often direct readers to other content from The Federalist. Second, articles from the site generally produce low scores for author expertise, suggesting that authors rarely cover a topic consistently or have only published other low-scoring articles on the same subject. Finally, most articles are very or moderately opinionated, rather than neutral in tone.

    Like any news source, scores for articles from The Federalist varied widely based on factors like author expertise and cited evidence. For example, some scored above 80%, while others scored well below 50%.

    Google also issued a warning on Tuesday to The Federalist over comments on articles related to recent protests.

    A Google spokesperson said in an email on Monday that it demonetized the websites after determining they violated its policies on content related to race.

    rCLWe have strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can run on and explicitly prohibit derogatory content that promotes hatred, intolerance, violence or discrimination based on race from monetizing," the spokesperson wrote. "When a page or site violates our policies, we take action. In this case, werCOve removed both sitesrCO ability to monetize with Google.rCY

    After publication of this story, Google backtracked Tuesday, clarifying that The Federalist had been warned about policy violations but still had time to address them. It now has three days to remove the violations before a ban goes into effect.

    On Wednesday morning, Google said The Federalist had removed the comments that violated its policies and that it would take no further action.
