Analysis / Bias
In review, Analyzing America publishes summarized news stories from other sources. It utilizes loaded emotional headlines like GOP Red: ‘People Are Getting Hurt’ Because of de Blasio’s ‘Feckless Leadership.’ This story completely lacks hyperlinked sourcing. Story selection always favors the right and often denigrates the left, such as INSANE: Liberals Blame Trump for Rise in Antisemitism in Wake of Hanukkah Stabbing Attack. This story is sourced to the questionable Breitbart News.
Regarding sourcing, they sometimes do not provide hyperlinks and, in other cases, use far-right biased, questionable sources such as the Gateway Pundit. Analyzing America also promotes conspiracy theories regarding the Clintons and pro-Trump propaganda. In general, this is a far-right biased website that lacks credibility.
