LEFT-CENTER BIAS

These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

Factual Reporting: HIGH

After watching a bit and checking out their website and Twitter feed I can clearly see a left bias. What I like though is I haven't noticed much of the hyperbolic ranting that is prevalent in news media today.

It's more than slight. I quit frequenting the site due to it. These people are simply not capable of journalism that is objective and lacking in slant. They have to pick up the ideological pom pons and do the cheer lead. They can't seem to help themselves.

And looking at "Media Bias Fact Check," they're skewed left as well.

If Newsy starts talking about the US troops in Syria trying to overthrow yet another legitimate government, I might start reading it.

I prefer print over video. My wife, OTOH, is a video junkie. To each his/her own, I guess. I'll pass this on to her.
