Analysis / Bias
While the stories on CM are well written and use factual sources, the sources rarely bear more than a passing relevance to the conclusions drawn. Crisis Magazine uses none of the over-the-top language of other biased sites on both ends; their extremism is evident in the tone and characterizations presented in the stories. Example: In the article “Does “Climate Change” Really Cause Hunger,” CM repeats many of the half-truths and distorted “facts” popular among climate change deniers while presenting no links to any sources, credible or otherwise, for these claims.
Editorially, all stories favor a Christian Right perspective and sometimes use poor sources. Coating extremism in seemingly moderate terms makes it no less extreme, only easier to read.
