Analysis / Bias
In review, The Bugle Observer reports local and regional news through journalists with minimal loaded words like this: Woodstock looks at extending policing – but at a huge cost increase. The national news is derived primarily from the Canadian Press and National Post, whereas world news comes from multiple sources such as Reuters, Washington Post, and Bloomberg. Generally, straight news reporting is factual and presents minimal biased wording; however, story selection tends to lean right.
Editorially, there is a clear right-leaning bias with commentaries. While the Bugle Observer does offer opposing viewpoints, on the whole, more editorials favor the conservative right.
