Analysis / Bias
In review, Black Eye Politics publishes news and opinions with an extreme right-wing bias. Story selection always favors the right and denigrates the left by using loaded emotional wording such as this: Joe Biden Said One Thing That Means a Top Democrat Will Destroy Him. The article itself also contains significant loaded quotes such as this: “In the current era, Democrats are more insane than they have ever been.” Another example of highly loaded wording is Nancy Pelosi’s Own Party Just Smacked Her With Horrible News. Like most on the website, this story either does not provide hyperlinked sourcing or is linked to the Questionable Great American Daily. In general, this is an extremely right-biased propaganda website.
