Analysis / Bias
In review, the California Globe covers government and politics throughout the state of California. News is broken into 5 categories: Governor, Legislature, Local, National, and Hollywood. The local link further breaks the news down by individual counties in California. News headlines typically are not sensational and use minimally loaded language such as this: Comparing California Government To Those Of Other States. However, there are occasional articles with moderately loaded language, such as Dam Sexism And Racism. News stories are properly sourced to credible media outlets such as the Sacramento Bee and the San Jose Mercury News. Story selection tends to favor the right by featuring right-leaning writers such as Republican Senator John Moorlach and Evan Gahr, a columnist for the right-leaning Daily Caller and press critic for New York Post.
In general, the California Globe demonstrates a right-leaning editorial bias and does not always source information properly. For example, on 7/28/2020, they sourced and supported Americas’ Frontline Doctors’ claims, which are demonstrably false.
