Analysis / Bias
Asian Dawn uses pictures as the main feature of the story, with the pages mainly covered by photographs. Asian Dawn’s reporting is generally biased towards right-wing perspectives and tends to rely on sensational headlines and use loaded language to manipulate readers’ opinions. Many stories report on crimes and discrimination against Asian Americans, like this Asian Woman Paralyzed After Black Man Body Slams Her During Robbery. This story relies on video and a local TV station for sourcing.
In review, Asian Dawn uses emotionally loaded sensational headlines such as “12-Year-Old Boy Arrested in Unprovoked Stabbing in Muni Bus.” The source for this story is a Twitter post. The article compares the Asian-American and African-American communities’ economic status and educational achievement. However, the comparison is oversimplified, and the writing appears to have a biased perspective that favors Asian Americans.
Another article, “Biden Backtracks On Taiwan Military Support for 3rd Time,” portrays President Biden as flip-flopping on the issue of military support for Taiwan, using loaded language such as “backtracks,” and criticizes President Biden, which lacks a balanced perspective.
Editorially, a search for stories where they mention former President Trump is usually favorable such as this Trump Now Has a 70% Chance of Winning Re-Election while framing Democrats negatively Biden Nominee Refuses to Say Discrimination Against Asians is Wrong. In general, Asian Dawn holds a strong right-leaning bias, completely lacks transparency, and promotes sensationalized one-sided content favorable to Asian Americans.
