Analysis / Bias
In review, Citizen Truth features citizen journalists from a wide range of backgrounds. Headlines and articles utilize moderately loaded emotional wording such as this: THE HYPOCRISY OF TRUMP ACCUSING CHINA OF ELECTION MEDDLING. However, all information in articles is very well sourced to credible media outlets such as the BBC. Story selection in general favors the left, however there are some right wing perspectives presented. Editorially, the majority of opinions favor the left.
A factual search reveals that Citizen Truth has never failed a fact check.
Overall, we rate Citizen Truth Left-Center biased based on story selection that moderately favors the left and High for factual due to proper sourcing. (D. Van Zandt 10/7/2018)
