Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.
- Overall, we rate the Political Tribune far-Left Biased based on story selection and wording that always favors the left and Mixed for factual reporting due to heavy spin of information that changes the context of stories and two failed fact checks.

Analysis / Bias
In review, the Political Tribune exhibits overt left-wing bias through the extensive use of strong emotional wording. For example, Trump Sends The Most Ridiculous Message To His Supporters After Bomb Attack, Proves He’s Insane and Trump Responds To Deadly Mass Shooting At Synagogue In Most Disgusting Way, Americans Horrified. Although both of these stories are properly sourced to credible information, there is significant spin employed through loaded language that denigrates the right.
In general, all stories on Political Tribune favors the left and denigrates the right, in particular President Trump.

Overall, we rate the Political Tribune far-Left Biased based on story selection and wording that always favors the left and Mixed for factual reporting due to heavy spin of information that changes the context of stories and two failed fact checks. (D. Van Zandt 10/27/2018) Updated (07/08/2020)
