Excerpt

LifeSiteNews, or simply LifeSite, is a Canadian Catholic advocacy and news publication. Founded by Campaign Life Coalition, it focuses primarily on opposition to abortion and also publishes Catholic and socially conservative commentary. It has been described by several sources as far-right, and has been criticised by fact-checking and media organisations for publishing misleading information, conspiracy theories, and COVID-19 misinformation. In 2021, it was banned from some social media platforms for violating policies on COVID-19 misinformation.
