Yes, Fox News: Factual Reporting: MIXED Overall, we rate Fox News strongly Right-Biased due to wording and story selection that favors the right and Mixed factually based on poor sourcing and the spreading of conspiracy theories that later must be retracted after being widely shared.Hmmm, only 2 out of the top 14 Internet news outlets are considered to be right-biased. That leaves 12 that are left-biased. So, if my math is correct, approx. 84% are left-leaning, and only approx. 14% are right-leaning.
And you're complaining about Fox News??![]()
- Yahoo News - Factual Reporting: HIGH Overall, we rate Yahoo News! Left-Center biased based on aggregation from more left leaning sources as well as editorial content that slightly favors the left.
