Heat Street is a conservative opinion and commentary website. Launched in February 2016, the website is headed by British writer and former politician Louise Mensch.[3][4] It is owned by News Corp under Dow Jones & Company.

The website was announced in February 2016. It launched officially on April 20, 2016.[3] The website was to be headed by British journalist Louise Mensch and network producer Noah Kotch, who helped launch Vocativ.[5] The editors are quoted as saying,

We plan to break news, move the media and mock the mainstream. It takes friction to generate heat. We will rub against the grain of convention. That's our mission.[6]

The website features sections on politics, technology, culture, business, entertainment, and life.[7]

The website has been described as centre-right and libertarian. A spokesperson said that the site will, "in a spirit of free speech and no ‘safe spaces,’ cover a variety of topics from a diversity of viewpoints."[8]

The Washington Times's Jennifer Harper described the site as, "The politics here are right-leaning and libertarian-minded; the publication also covers culture wars, commentary, technology, celebrity, business and assorted lifestyle matters."[6]

Highlight:

FBI has FISA warrant for Trump secret server connected to Russia. [View all] Coyotl Nov 2016 OP

need a more mainstream link...otherwise its like breitbart to me beachbum bob Nov 2016 #1

OP updated plus Daily Kos' FBI ‘Granted FISA Warrant’ * Part of article based on NBC news report. Coyotl Nov 2016 #3

again it all sounds like breitbart....when it runs on NYT or washington Post let me know beachbum bob Nov 2016 #5

It does not sound like Brietbart at all. Here's Snopes: Coyotl Nov 2016 #13

its same type of innuendo no better than breitbart.... beachbum bob Nov 2016 #17

It is a report of a FISA warrant confirmed by intelligence source, reported by a news journalist Coyotl Nov 2016 #23

For this kind of info some official name needs to be on it, not just some "source" this is no joke uponit7771 Nov 2016 #30

By that standard, every "government official stated" report in news would be buried. Deep Throat? Coyotl Nov 2016 #33

Not every report carries the weight this one does, tangible ties to Russia would be investigations uponit7771 Nov 2016 #51

It looks like fake news to me, djg21 Dec 2016 #70

Without reliable sourcing, I think we'd be foolish to disseminate this. hlthe2b Nov 2016 #7

Yes pinboy3niner Nov 2016 #8

The source is reliable, unless lean right disqualifies journalists. Coyotl Nov 2016 #36

How many business hours until the MSM pick this up? n/t Orsino Nov 2016 #53

That is not a reliable source. demmiblue Nov 2016 #9

No, it's the only media source--and it claims 2 anonymous sources. nt pinboy3niner Nov 2016 #38

Indeed, the article ie titled "EXCLUSIVE ..." Coyotl Nov 2016 #44

Heat Street is the SOLE source for this and is the basis for all the other stories pinboy3niner Nov 2016 #18

Louise Mensch is the author of the story, and the new news is just the FISA warrant. Coyotl Nov 2016 #20

The warrant "news" is uncorroborated pinboy3niner Nov 2016 #22

But the journalist has done due diliigence and has intelligence sources. Coyotl Nov 2016 #26

I'm not inferring anything, but my own due diligence for credibility... pinboy3niner Nov 2016 #29
