Detailed Report
Reasoning: Right Bias, Poor Sourcing, Lack of Transparency
Country: Unknown
History
According to a domain search, Breaking Wide was Founded in 2019. Breaking Wide is a hyperpartisan conservative news and opinion site. The website 100% lacks transparency as they do not disclaim ownership, authors or that the site consistently promotes conservative viewpoints. According to their about page “Breaking Wide also covers political news articles featuring all aspects of American government and politics. It also covers general updates from the oval office.”
Funded by / Ownership
Breaking Wide does not disclose ownership or funding, however, the website runs display advertising.
Analysis / Bias
In review, Breaking Wide publishes summarized news stories from other sources. Headlines contain a moderate amount of loaded wording such as this Piers Morgan Suffers From Depression Seeing Americans Buying Guns In Historic Numbers. However, within the article, the unnamed author opines with strong emotional language such as this “Piers Morgan is all depressed because Americans are re-discovering the glories of the Second Amendment after a rash of violent looting and rioting.” This story is sourced to a tweet and although they publish statistics from the FBI they do not provide a link to that information for verification. Story selection always favors the right and denigrates the left such as this Watch Joe Biden’s Response When Confronted On Live Television If He Has Been Tested For Dementia. In general, the stories selected are factual news stories with the author adding biased conservative opinions.
