The Gateway Pundit

The Gateway Pundit was launched in 2004 by Jim Hoft, who serves as the site's Editor. Initially, it was known as TheGatewayPundit/blogspot.com and focused on providing short summaries while linking to other content creators, making it a central resource for significant news in politics and media. It was created for individuals seeking alternatives to the mainstream media, which often felt biased. The early audience included Jim's twin brother Joe, a Midwest engineer, and Jim's mother, and from those humble beginnings, the site has expanded significantly.
