Analysis / Bias
In review, Buzzsaw Politics appropriately labels their stories either commentary or opinion. Most stories are written from a conservative perspective on a known news story from a variety of sources. Story selection almost always favors the right and in particular President Donald Trump, while denigrating Democrats such as this: Opinion: Pelosi Impeached Trump Over Withholding Aid. Now She’s Withholding Aid To Us. and this Trump’s In The ‘Catch 22’ Of A Lifetime. If He Succeeds, Put Him On Mount Rushmore. When it comes to sourcing information, many articles do not link to outside information, while other link to credible sources such as the CDC and the Associated Press. In some cases they utilize questionable sources such as Breitbart, which has a very poor track record with fact checkers. In general, Buzzsaw Politics presents factual news and commentary with a strong right leaning bias.
