Funded by / Ownership
Christian Daily International, a Christian media organization, owns Christianity Daily. The publication does not publicly disclose detailed funding sources but generates revenue through advertising, sponsorships, and reader donations. Its mission-driven approach suggests support from evangelical organizations and Christian ministries.
Analysis / Bias
Christianity Daily reports on religious, social, and political topics from a conservative evangelical perspective, often aligning with right-leaning policies on issues such as religious liberty, and abortion.
For example, in “Trump Establishes Commission to Protect Religious Liberty,” the publication portrays President Donald Trump’s efforts to defend religious freedom in a highly favorable light, reinforcing a narrative that Christian liberties are under threat. The article does not present opposing viewpoints or criticisms of the commission.
Similarly, “SBC Urges Congress to Defund Planned Parenthood” covers the Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) advocacy against Planned Parenthood. The article amplifies pro-life arguments without including counterpoints from Planned Parenthood or other pro-choice voices, demonstrating one-sided reporting.
Christianity Daily’s sourcing primarily consists of direct quotes from evangelical leaders, religious organizations, and conservative Christian advocacy groups. This approach lacks balance and omits perspectives from secular or opposing voices. This selective sourcing reinforces a particular ideological stance rather than offering a comprehensive or neutral account.
There is also evidence that CD publishes pseudoscientific content like this Post-Jab Health Problems Not ‘Coincidence’, Likely Caused By COVID Vaccines: VAERS Data Analysis. VAERS data is not entirely accurate because it includes unverified reports of adverse events that anyone can submit, which means the information cannot determine causation.
