Truth Social’s new AI-fueled search, Truth Search AI, is basically a Fox News feeder: built on Perplexity’s tech and rolling out on the web (with apps soon), every test query points back to conservative sites—think Fox News, Fox Business, Washington Times and The Federalist—despite the platform’s big free-speech hustle.
Sure, it’ll spit out a grudgingly honest take (“Trump’s tariffs have stunted growth”), but the sourcing pool is so narrow it’s basically Trump Media’s Patriot Economy pump. CEO Devin Nunes calls it a “vital” beta and vows upgrades, while outside testers (hi, 404 Media) find glaring blind spots—like brushing off Trump’s ties in the Epstein files. Perplexity’s team? They’re just thrilled to serve “transparent citations,” even if they’re all red-state flavored.
