The Gateway Pundit
Founded in 2004 The Gateway Pundit is an online news publication consisting of news, commentary and analysis. Located in America's Heartland, TGP focuses on topics Heartland Americans care about. Since its founding, TGP has grown as many Americans turn to digital news sources and as many Americans continue to lose trust in the purportedly unbiased nature of older newspapers and networks, TGP is addressing this gap as a trusted news source for the stories and views that are largely untold or ignored by traditional news outlets.
The views and opinions expressed by The Gateway Pundit are not necessarily (but probably are) those of The Chariton Beacon.
