    The People's Voice (formerly known as NewsPunch and Your News Wire) is an American fake news website based in Los Angeles. The site was founded as Your News Wire[1] [2] in 2014 by Sean Adl-Tabatabai and his husband, Sinclair Treadway.[3] In November 2018, it rebranded itself as NewsPunch. Your News Wire was revived as a separate website in November 2020, and has continued publishing hoaxes similar to those in NewsPunch.[4] In 2023, NewsPunch adopted its current name, The People's Voice.[5]

    A 2017 BuzzFeed News report identified NewsPunch as being the second-largest source of popular fake stories spread on Facebook that year, and a June 2018 Poynter analysis identified NewsPunch as being debunked over 80 times in 2017 and 2018 by Poynter-accredited,factcheckers such as Snopes, FactCheck.org, PolitiFact, and the Associated Press.

    The European Union's East StratCom Task Force has criticized NewsPunch for spreading Russian propaganda, a charge Adl-Tabatabai denies.

    Regular contributors to NewsPunch include Adl-Tabatabai, a former BBC and MTV employee from London previously an employee of conspiracy theorist David Icke,[6] Adl-Tabatabai's mother Carol Adl, an alternative health practitioner, and Baxter Dmitry, who had previously been posing as an unrelated Latvian man using a stolen profile photo.[7] [8]

    The name The People's Voice was also used by a short-lived internet TV station in the 2010s, which was founded by Icke.
