==Successor to The Spotlight==

The paper was founded in [[2001]] as the successor to ''[[The Spotlight]]'', which ceased publication in 2001 when its parent company, [[Liberty Lobby]], was forced into bankruptcy. The paper essentially continued as ''The Spotlight'' under a different name maintaining the same staff. The central figure for both papers is [[Willis Carto]].

The [[Barnes Review]] (TBR), a companion publication to American Free Press, was founded in 1994 after similar legal trouble forced the abandonment of [[The Journal of Historical Review]]. TBR focuses on [[historical revisionism]].

==Ideology==
The newspaper's direct ancestor was ''The Spotlight'', which ceased publication in 2001 when its parent organization, Liberty Lobby, was forced into bankruptcy. One of the paper's founders was Willis Carto, a white nationalist who promoted theories about jews and the fake holocaust.
Like ''The Spotlight'', ''American Free Press'' proclaims a "[[populist]] and [[nationalist]]" political orientation, and runs opinionated articles and editorials aimed at a mainstream audience across the political spectrum.
 
The ''American Free Press'' is vocally '''opposed''' to:
* U.S. military interventions on behalf of [[Israel]] (especially the [[Iraq War]]), which account for most U.S. actions abroad since the fall of the [[Berlin Wall]]
* [[Zionist]] control of U.S. foreign policy, especially via [[AIPAC]]
* [[free trade|Managed trade (free trade)]] treaties such as [[NAFTA]] and the [[World Trade Organization]],
* The policies of the [[Federal Reserve Bank]].
* The federal [[income tax]]
* Mass immigration into the USA
 
The paper takes a special interest in reporting on the activities of the [[Bilderberg]] group and on [[alternative medicine|complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)]]. It has published several articles supportive of [[Venezuelan President]] [[Hugo Chávez]].
 
==Connections to 9/11 Conspiracy Theories==
''American Free Press'' publishes controversial articles on [[Alternative theories to the events of 9/11|9/11]]. One of AFP's former correspondants, [[Christopher Bollyn]], who has been a guest on [[David Duke]] radio<ref>[http://www.911review.com/denial/holocaust.html#davidduke Christopher Bollyn has been a Guest on David Duke's Show]</ref>, is sometimes cited for his reporting in the [[9/11 Truth Movement]].  Bollyn is also a [[Holocaust realist]] ("denier" in PC speak) and so is distrusted by the PC elements of 9/11 "Truth" Movement.<ref>[http://www.911review.com/denial/holocaust.html#bollyn Holocaust Denial Versus 9/11 Truth] Christopher Bollyn, 911review.com</ref><ref>[http://www.oilempire.us/holocaust-denial.html Holocaust deniers push hoaxes that sabotage 9/11 Truth Movement]</ref> The 9/11-Truth film ''[[Loose Change (video)|Loose Change]]'' used material from ''American Free Press'' as a source, and the film ''Oil, Smoke & Mirrors'' contains an interview with Bollyn. 
 
Others have criticized Bollyn for inserting claims devoid of actual references.  In his alleged reports of 9/11 anomalies, he suggests that the [[Flight 93]] crash site had no aircraft debris <ref>[http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/9-11_mysteries.html 9-11 Mysteries Remain]</ref><ref>[http://www.911review.com/denial/holocaust.html#bollyn Holocaust Denial Versus 9/11 Truth] Christopher Bollyn</ref> contrary to numerous other reports with evidence of such debris<ref>[http://www.911review.com/errors/phantom/flight93.html "ERROR: 'Flight 93 Didn't Crash in Shanskville, PA"], 911review.com</ref>.  In his article about the seismic events of the WTC towers collapses, Bollyn suggests that the seismic spikes preceded the collapses and are thus evidence for "basement bombs."  He states,
 
:"The strongest jolts were all registered at the beginning of the collapses, well before the falling debris struck the earth. These unexplained 'spikes' in the seismic data lend credence to the theory that massive explosions at the base of the towers caused the collapses."<ref>[http://www.global-conspiracies.com/seismic.htm global-conspiracies.com]</ref> 
 
Other analyses of the WTC seismic data have found no evidence for Bollyn's claim that large spikes preceded the collapses.<ref>[http://www.911review.com/errors/wtc/seismic.html "ERROR: 'Seismic Spikes Preceded the Towers' Collapses'"]</ref>
 
==Hostility from ADL==
The Jewish [[hate group]] "[[Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith]] (ADL) has criticized AFP, in particular Bollyn, for its linking of prominent figures in the Jewish community with the events of [[September 11, 2001]], and in September 2006 accused the publication of disseminating "anti-Semitic propaganda". <ref>{{cite web
