Analysis / Bias

In review, ANX publishes news that always favors the left and with loaded emotional wording such as this: The Cancer On This Presidency Is Terminal. This story is appropriately sourced to NBC News and the New York Times. Editorially, ANX is opposed to President Donald Trump such as this Trump loses it in unhinged press conference with Finnish president. When it comes to sourcing information some stories contain zero hyperlinked sourcing such as this: The Dignity of Work – A Salute to the People Who Built America. Editorially, ANX always favors the left and denigrates the right. In general, news is reported with factual sources, but written in a way that does not provide balance and hence results in spin that favors the left.

Overall, we rate ANX Left Biased based on story selection and editorial bias that always favors the left. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sourcing, a lack of transparency and one sided reporting. (D. Van Zandt 11/21/2016) Updated (10/12/2019)
