Analysis / Bias

Biotechnology Innovation Organization does not post news related to politics but instead focuses on advocacy for the advancement of biotechnology. They do have a section on the website called News & Reports where they do opine primarily about healthcare news. In some cases, they have a favorable view of Trump’s policies such as here and other, where they vilify his policies towards health care. Everything on this website is well-sourced and related to science or the politics that drive it.

Overall, this is a pro-Science source. (D. Van Zandt 10/27/2018) Updated (04/01/2022)
