The Spotlight was an American weekly newspaper thatappearedin Washington, DC from 1975 to 2001.

She was the mouthpiece of the racist and anti-Semitic organization Liberty Lobby and was considered the central publication organ of the extreme right in the United States for spreading hate propaganda.

According to the company, the last paper that was published in a circulation of around 100,000 copies with 90,000 subscribers repeatedly spreads allegations of an alleged Jewish world conspiracy.

The Anti-Defamation League revealed that Oklahoma assassin Timothy McVeigh , using the pseudonym T. Tuttle, had advertised militaria on The Spotlight . The paper had tried time and again to be respectable to conservative circles, but ultimately even the conservative William F. Buckley, Jr. , editor of the National Review , had distanced himself from The Spotlight because of militant anti-Semitism .

The last issue of The Spotlight appeared in June 2001 after a longstanding legal battle with the Institute for Historical Review (IHR) resulted in bankruptcy proceedings.

In the meantime, however, there is a follow-up publication that appears under the name American Free Press . Here too, conspiracy theories , for example around the 9/11 attack, and anti-Semitic and racist issues take up a lot of space .
