HERE IS A PDF OF THEIR HIT PIECE with the text below here:
thefullertoninformer.com
A conspiracy-oriented website that has promoted a variety of
debunked and outlandish claims, including that the 9/11 terrorist
attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic are “hoaxes.”
Ownership and
Financing
TheFullertonInformer.com is owned by Joe Imbriano, a
Californian who refers to himself as “the Fullerton
Informer” and is identified as the site administrator in
his author biography. Imbriano owns two other
websites, 5GDangers.com and WiFiDangers.com, and
had 117,000 subscribers on his Fullerton Informer
YouTube channel as of July 2020.
In 2016, Imbriano ran unsuccessfully for the Fullerton,
California, City Council.
The site does not run advertisements.
Content Every page on TheFullertonInformer.com includes the
following text above the website’s name:
“EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD IS A LIE AND
A FRAUD. JOE IMBRIANO IS THE FULLERTON
INFORMER AND BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO KNOW, WE DARE TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE.”
Content on the site generally consists of articles
credited to Imbriano or videos of him speaking about
various conspiracy theories. The site’s homepage
features categories ranging from “5G” and “FORCED
VACCINATIONS” to “Pedophile protectors on the
Fullerton City Council.”
Other pages on the site summarize conspiracy theories
promoted by Imbriano. For example, the page titled “5G
Dangers” includes videos of Imbriano speaking about
5G, as well as videos of his public comments to the
Fullerton City Council about the supposed dangers of
the technology. Titles of other pages include
“Apple666,” “Disney666,” and “Vaccines.” (The number
666 is often used to refer to the devil.)

false claims and unsubstantiated conspiracy theories,
including about the COVID-19 pandemic.
For example, in a March 2020 article, headlined “WiFi
6, The 6 GHz Frequency-the war on Iodine and WiGigThe 60 GHz Frequency and the war on Oxygen,” the
site claimed, without evidence, that stay-at-home orders
issued in response to the pandemic were a cover to test
what the site called “electromagnetic weaponry” that will
be deployed through 5G networks.
“WHEN THEY GO LIVE WITH 5G AND THESE
SYSTEMS IN A FEW YEARS, WHEN THEY ARE ALL
UP AND RUNNING SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE
RESULTS WILL BE A REPEAT OF 1918 DEATH TOLL
OF 100 MILLION PEOPLE WHICH WAS ALSO
ELECTROMAGNETICALLY INDUCED,” the article
stated. “WHEN THEY PULL THIS OFF, WHEN THEY
FLIP THE SWITCH, PEOPLE WILL DROP LIKE FLIES.
THEY WILL BLAME A FAKE VIRUS AND THEY WILL
FORCE VACCINES AND QUARANTINES, AND BODY
BURNINGS ON EVERYONE. WE MUST EXPOSE
THESE FACTS THAT THE ELECTROMAGNETIC
WEAPONRY BEING DEPLOYED ON US BY US IS
GOING TO BE USED AGAINST US.”
There is no evidence that the COVID-19 virus is
connected to 5G, according to fact-checking articles
published in 2020 by FullFact.org and Reuters. A March
2020 report from the International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection, a Germany-based
organization that studies the health effects of nonionizing radiation such as radio waves, found no
evidence that 5G exposure posed a risk to human
health. There is also no evidence to support Imbriano’s
claim that the 1918 flu pandemic was
“electromagnetically induced.”
Articles and headlines on the site have repeatedly
referred to the COVID-19 virus as a hoax. For example,
a February 2020 article written by Imbriano was
headlined, “THE CORONAVIRUS HOAX IS A
MASSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE OPERATION
TO USHER IN FORCED VACCINATIONS,
QUARANTINES, RELOCATIONS, INCARCERATIONS,
TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS, FORCED MEDICAL
PROCEDURES, FOOD SHORTAGES, AND AN END
TO ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS.”
Similarly, in a July 2020 video, which ran under the
headline “BANNED ON YOU TUBE-IT’S AIRBORNE,”
he said, “I will tell you that the coronavirus is a cartoon
character. It’s not real, folks. It doesn’t exist. It’s not
going to infect you.”
In fact, there have been more than 14 million confirmed
COVID-19 cases and more than 600,000 deaths
worldwide due to COVID-19 as of late July 2020,
according to the World Health Organization.
In a June 2020 video posted on the site under the title
“BANNED ON YOU TUBE-Universal Masking And The
Call To Resist At All Levels,” Imbriano promoted false
claims about face masks. After again falsely asserting
that the COVID-19 virus “does not exist,” Imbriano
stated, “Everything that they’re telling us we need to do
to protect ourselves is playing right into their hands for
us to kill ourselves. Let’s start with the most basic thing
they’re telling us to do: cut off your air supply. I mean,
really? Re-inhale your CO2?”
Wearing a face mask will not cut off a person’s air
supply or cause an accumulation of carbon dioxide, as
illustrated by health care workers who regularly wear
face masks for long periods of time without
experiencing those effects. According to a May 2020
article from health fact-checking website
HealthFeedback.org, even surgical and N95 masks
used by health care workers are porous enough to
allow gas molecules such as carbon dioxide and
oxygen to pass through, while limiting exposure to the
respiratory droplets that could spread the COVID-19
virus.
The homepage of TheFullertonInformer.com also
provides a printable “mask exemption form” that
contains false claims about obtaining exemptions to
face mask requirements during the pandemic. The
form, which includes the seal of the U.S. Department of
Justice, reads: “I am exempt from the Governor’s
regulation Mandating Face Mask usage in Public.
Wearing a Face Mask poses a Health Risk to me,”
citing the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The DOJ called similar flyers “fraudulent” in a June
2020 press release, saying the department “did not
issue and does not endorse them in any way” despite
the flyers displaying the department’s seal. It also said
the flyers contained inaccurate information. “The ADA
does not provide a blanket exemption to people with
disabilities from complying with legitimate safety
requirements necessary for safe operations,” the
Justice Department said.
The website has promoted multiple false health claims
unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the
claim that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) does
not cause acquired immune deficiency syndrome
(AIDS). A May 2020 article titled “THE AIDS HOAX,
THE VIRUS HOAX,” stated, “AIDS researchers claim
that HIV plays a role in the development of these
illnesses, but in spite of this claim, 20 years of AIDS
research has failed to prove causation between HIV
infection and any so-called AIDS disease.”
Contrary to the article’s claims, multiple studies dating
to the 1980s have demonstrated that HIV infection
causes AIDS. According to a page on the website of the
U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases (NIAID), “abundant epidemiologic, virologic
and immunologic data support the conclusion that
infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
is the underlying cause of AIDS.”
TheFullertonInformer.com has also promoted
conspiracy theories related to the September 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks. An October 2018 article, credited to
the site 911PlanesHoax.com, falsely claimed that
hijacked planes did not crash into the World Trade
Center towers and were either computer-generated
images or holograms. “In all of the footage the alleged
planes hitting the twin towers clearly do not look real,”
the article stated. “The planes have a computer
generated appearance. In every video the planes have
a different appearance and color, missing wings, are
featureless and blurred.”
Beyond multiple eyewitness accounts and videos that
captured the planes hitting the World Trade Center
towers, an investigation of the U.S. National Institute of
Standards and Technology, published in December
2005, concluded that the impact of hijacked airplanes
and subsequent fires caused the collapse of the towers.
The site includes multiple undated pages that promote
other outlandish conspiracy theories. For example, a
page titled “NASA” claims that the Earth is flat. “The
earth is flat and evolution is a lie from the pit of hell,” the
article stated. “The moon and the sun are roughly the
same size, are at the same distance from and revolve
around the earth JUST LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS.”
Besides ignoring centuries of evidence showing that the
Earth is spherical and revolves around the Sun,
Imbriano was also incorrect in stating that the Moon
and the Sun are located “the same distance” from Earth
and are “roughly the same size.” The Moon is about
400 times smaller than the Sun and about 400 times
closer to Earth.
Because TheFullertonInformer.com has frequently
promoted false claims and unsubstantiated conspiracy
theories, NewsGuard has determined that the site has
repeatedly published false content, fails to gather and
present information responsibly, and does not avoid
deceptive headlines.
The website does not post a corrections policy and
NewsGuard could not find any corrections on the site.
TheFullertonInformer.com does not purport to publish
straight news, and content is consistent with its
disclosed agenda of purportedly exposing conspiracies.
Therefore, NewsGuard has determined that the site
does not handle the difference between news and
opinion irresponsibly.
Asked about the site’s editorial standards and practices,
Imbriano responded to NewsGuard’s initial email in July
2020, stating, “Please provide the full names of your
editorial board before I go any further with your
organization.” After being provided with information
about NewsGuard’s editorial staff and advisory board,
Sources
Imbriano did not respond to two additional emails
seeking comment on the articles cited above and the
site’s approach to corrections.
Transparency Text that appears above the website’s name on every
page states that “JOE IMBRIANO IS THE FULLERTON
INFORMER.” NewsGuard has determined this is
acceptable disclosure of the site’s ownership.
Imbriano’s author page identifies him as “site
administrator.” However, there is no indication who edits
the site, and the site does not provide any contact
information. Therefore, NewsGuard has determined
that the site does not provide information about editorial
leaders.
Articles are generally credited to Imbriano, and his
author page includes a short biography.
Imbriano did not respond to two emails seeking
comment on the site’s lack of disclosure regarding
editorial leaders.
The site does not run advertising.
History The earliest stories on TheFullertonInformer.com date

For example, in a March 2020 article, headlined “WiFi

site claimed, without evidence, that stay-at-home orders
issued in response to the pandemic were a cover to test

be deployed through 5G networks.
“WHEN THEY GO LIVE WITH 5G AND THESE

There is no evidence that the COVID-19 virus is

headlined, “THE CORONAVIRUS HOAX IS A
MASSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE OPERATION
TO USHER IN FORCED VACCINATIONS,
QUARANTINES, RELOCATIONS, INCARCERATIONS,
TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS, FORCED MEDICAL
PROCEDURES, FOOD SHORTAGES, AND AN END
TO ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS.”
Similarly, in a July 2020 video, which ran under the
headline “BANNED ON YOU TUBE-IT’S AIRBORNE,”
he said, “I will tell you that the coronavirus is a cartoon
character. It’s not real, folks. It doesn’t exist. It’s not
going to infect you.”
In fact, there have been more than 14 million confirmed
COVID-19 cases and more than 600,000 deaths
worldwide due to COVID-19 as of late July 2020,
according to the World Health Organization.
In a June 2020 video posted on the site under the title
“BANNED ON YOU TUBE-Universal Masking And The
