Analysis / Bias
In review, the Biloxi Sun Herald covers local news via journalists with minimal bias, such as this: He killed a man for cash and a car, but Coast judge considered previous crimes at sentencing. The national news is provided through the Associated Press. All information is properly sourced to credible media outlets. Editorially, the Sun Herald typically does not endorse candidates. Op-Eds offer both right and left-leaning perspectives; however, slightly more tend to favor the left, such as this: President Trump, we’re not ‘enemies of the people.’ End your war on our free press.
