Background

LifeZette launched in 2015, based in Washington, D.C., with an office in Houston. Fox News host Laura Ingraham and businessman Peter Anthony founded it, and Ingraham served as editor-in-chief. It covered politics, culture and lifestyle, with offshoots such as PoliZette, FaithZette and MomZette. During the 2016 campaign it was seen as strongly supportive of Donald Trump and aligned with his populist, immigration-restrictionist message. Fact-checking and media-watch groups criticized it for misleading headlines, weak sourcing and promoting conspiracy theories. One example was a 'Clinton Body Count' video, which it removed and called 'made in jest'. In late 2017 staff were told the site was in financial difficulty and faced a sale or closure. In January 2018 Ingraham confirmed she had sold the majority stake to a Katz Group subsidiary, keeping a minority stake at first, and Ingraham later left the venture. After that its profile and publishing volume fell sharply. It is best described as a hyper-partisan, pro-Trump conservative outlet with mixed reliability, but I could not verify its recent activity or current ownership details, so those points are uncertain.
