Analysis / Bias

In review, Bizpac Review covers news and opinion content with a strong conservative Republican bias. They also have a people section that covers commentary and news about other conservatives such as Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway and Laura Ingraham, all of which have poor records with fact checkers. 

Story selection always favors the right and utilizes loaded emotional wording such as this: Speaker makes big mistake of addressing crowd as ‘guys’ at Dem Socialists of America convention. This story is sourced to video followed by biased commentary with loaded wording such as this: “Not that Comrade Jackson didn’t begin by noting his preferred pronouns — but this was AFTER he addressed the room as “guys.” When not reporting negatively on Democrats, they frequently glorify Donald Trump and other conservatives with positive wording such as this: Trump suggests combo gun and immigration action to make something ‘GREAT, come out of two tragic events’. This story is reported with mostly neutral wording using quotes from the President, which differs greatly from their reporting on the left, which offers strong opinions.

Editorially, Bizpac Review almost always favors the right. They also republish content from the factually Mixed Daily Caller.

A factual search reveals a few failed fact checks by IFCN fact checkers.

• Says Sen. John McCain was “caught making highly illegal phone call to foreign country.” – FALSE
• “Breaking: Shep Smith to be canned because he can’t control his hate for Donald Trump.” – PANTS ON FIRE
• President Barack Obama “ordered our military to enlist illegal aliens.” – MOSTLY FALSE

Overall, we rate Bizpac Review Right Biased based on story selection and editorial position that almost always favor the right.
