Analysis / Bias
Citizen Watch Report (CWR) exhibits a strong right-leaning bias, frequently focusing on conservative viewpoints and presenting content critical of liberal figures and policies. The platform often curates social media posts and adds commentary that aligns with its ideological stance.

Similarly, in “CNN Panelist Retracts Trump-Cheney’ Firing Squad’ Propaganda,“ CWR covers a retracted statement by a CNN panelist, focusing on perceived bias in mainstream media. This selective reporting, which emphasizes conservative viewpoints and criticisms of liberal media without counterpoints, contributes to CWR’s partisan tone. Additionally, CWR often features opinion pieces reinforcing conservative narratives, indicating its right-leaning bias.
The site generally focuses heavily on conservative perspectives, often presenting social media reactions or selective commentary that aligns with its ideological stance without balanced viewpoints.
