Analysis / Bias
In review, Backroom Buzz does not produce original news content, but rather opines on current news from a conservative perspective. There is frequent use of loaded language that favors the right such as this: President Trump: Democrats’ Impeachment Inquiry a ‘Lynching’ and this Liberals Fume After Facebook Lists Breitbart In News Tab. When not denigrating liberals, this site celebrates President Donald Trump such as this: Another Day, Another Democrat, Fake News Trump Controversy. In general, this is a pro-Trump propaganda site that does not often source to external information.
A factual search reveals they have not been fact checked as of yet.
Overall, we rate Backroom Buzz Questionable based on extreme right wing bias, lack of sourcing, sensational headlines, and a complete lack of transparency. (D. Van Zandt 10/30/2019)
