Analysis / Bias

The Deplorables Report typically takes a news story from a credible media source such as The Hill and re-writes/summarizes it with opinion added in. Most news stories favor the right and use moderately loaded words in headlines such as: McConnell has had enough, warns Robert Mueller : “What I think about the Mueller investigation is, they ought to wrap it up. The Deplorables Report typically sources to mainstream media sources that are high for credibility. While the content of the website is rooted in fact, we cannot rate a source that does not disclose ownership High for factual reporting.

Overall, we rate the Deplorables Report Right Biased based on story selection that favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to anonymity of ownership. (D. Van Zandt 6/17/2018)
