1600 Daily – Bias and Credibility

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

Update: This source is no longer publishing under the Biden Administration.

• Overall, we rate 1600 Daily Right Biased based on the Republican political affiliation of the President. We also rate them Mostly Factual, rather than High, due to a lack of hyperlinked sourcing.
