Analysis / Bias
In review, Blue State Daily is a 100% left leaning website that reports on Democratic news. Headlines and articles contain emotionally loaded words that typically favor the left such as this Hillary Clinton Blasts Trump And Republicans For Their Incivility. Although most information is appropriately sourced, sometimes Blue State Daily utilizes poor sources with Mixed factual records such as ShareBlue. A review of the first 10 articles on the website demonstrate that every one of them is pro-left.
