Gateway Pundit, a far-right outlet known for promoting conspiracy theories, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as it faces multiple defamation lawsuits related to its coverage of the 2020 presidential election. The company claims that the legal challenges are part of a coordinated effort by progressive forces to silence conservative media outlets. Gateway Pundit has been accused of spreading false and defamatory claims, including allegations that poll workers and voting machine employees helped rig the election in favor of President Joe Biden.
