Analysis / Bias
In review, the Dallas Morning News covers local news through journalists with minimal bias, such as this: Man dies after fire at Far East Dallas home. National news comes from various sources, including the Associated Press and the New York Times. All story information is properly sourced.
Editorially, the Dallas Morning News always endorses Republican candidates; however, in 2016, they did not endorse Republican Donald Trump based on the argument that “Donald Trump is not a true Republican.” A review of their opinion page also shows a right-leaning bias in topic selection that favors the right. For example, this paper routinely publishes negative opinion pieces against former Democratic Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke. In general, the Dallas Morning News publishes straight news with minimal bias and editorially demonstrates a slight right-leaning bias.
