Analysis / Bias
In review, DC Alert reports news without providing the name of the author. All news stories strongly favor the right through both story selection and highly biased wording such as this, Barr ADMITS Shocking But Much Needed TRUTH. This story is not sourced at all. This highly loaded headline, Biden DECLARES WAR on the 2nd Amendment, also does not provide a source for the story, however a search of text reveals it is mostly plagiarized from the right leaning Daily Wire. In general, all stories on DC Alert favor the right through emotional wording and poor use of sources.
Overall, we rate DC Alert Questionable based on Extreme Right bias, poor sourcing, plagiarism and a complete lack of transparency. (D. Van Zandt 6/1/2019)
