Denver Guardian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Logo for the Denver Guardian

The Denver Guardian was a fake news website,[1][2] known for a popular untrue story about Hillary Clinton posted on the site on November 5, 2016,[3] three days before the 2016 U.S. presidential election, which Clinton lost.[4] The story, entitled "FBI Agent Suspected In Hillary Email Leaks Found Dead In Apparent Murder-Suicide", alleged that an FBI agent investigating Clinton had been found dead in a Maryland house fire.[5] The story was shared on Facebook (a news source for "44 percent of U.S. adults")[6][7] more than half a million times and earned more than 15.5 million impressions.[6][8] According to a Denver Post newspaper story on the Denver Guardian and the Clinton article,

  • While "The Guardian" claimed to be Denver's "oldest" news source, the site's domain was first registered only a few months before in July 2016;[9]
  • The story on Clinton appeared to be the only article on the website (it was "the only story showing up under the "News" section and all other sections are turning up errors");[9]
  • While the story quoted a "Walkerville Police Chief Pat Frederick", there is no Walkerville, Maryland. There is a Walkersville, Maryland, but the city does not have a police department.[9] The address the site listed for "The Guardian" newsroom was actually a parking lot.[10][9]

The site was registered anonymously and built using WordPress, but an investigator employed by National Public Radio found the site was operated by Jestin Coler, the founder, and CEO of Disinfomedia and owner of several other fake news sites.[8] As of March 27, 2017, the site still existed but had no news or any other content. Jestin Coler, as of April 2022, is running for the Indiana House of Representatives.[11]
