Analysis / Bias

The Center for Renewing America promotes conservative ideologies and policies aligned with former President Trump’s political movement. The organization focuses on right-wing priorities, such as opposing critical race theory, economic nationalism, and immigration.

For instance, in the article “Tariffs and American Sovereignty,” the center argues in favor of tariffs to protect domestic industries, framing the issue in line with Trump-era economic protectionism. The article avoids discussing counterarguments, such as the potential for tariffs to increase consumer costs.

Similarly, the policy brief “The Great Replacement in Theory and Practice” discusses immigration through the lens of far-right rhetoric. The article references the “Great Replacement” theory and includes emotionally loaded language common in right-wing populist narratives. The article’s sources are often not hyperlinked, making it difficult for readers to verify information. Endnotes rely on questionable sources, including Big League Politics, a website that promotes conspiracy theories. When attempting to access this source, the link leads to an error page as the website no longer exists. Additionally,Big League Politics has been flagged for publishing misleading content.

In contrast, the article “The H-1B Visa Program Harms American Workers and Should Be Repealed” relies on various sources, such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and government documents. However, it selectively cites sources, often omitting counterpoints. For instance, it focuses on the negative impact of the H-1B visa program on American workers but does not adequately address the economic benefits or contributions of H-1B workers to innovation and the U.S. economy. This selective sourcing creates a skewed narrative, leaning heavily toward one side of the issue while downplaying or ignoring evidence that could contradict its claims.

In brief, the center’s sourcing practices differ among articles. Some articles lack proper hyperlinks or rely on misleading references; others, while grounded in credible sources, lack balance by cherry-picking data and ignoring alternative perspectives, resulting in a one-sided conservative-leaning analysis that could potentially mislead readers.
