Analysis / Bias
Dutch Review uses left bias when reporting USA news such as https://dutchreview.com/news/international-news/trump-money-laundering-in-the-netherlands/ (this is unproven). It has a right-center bias in word choices when reporting Dutch-related political news. For example, 4 THINGS ABOUT *SHOCK* CRIMINAL MIGRANTS IN THE NETHERLANDS”.
Editorially, the Dutch Review holds a progressive left bias on issues such as feminism Being a feminist in the Netherlands: surprisingly, it’s a challenge. A review of op-eds also reveals a left-leaning bias with concern for the environment OPINION: why the Shell verdict was much more than just a court case win, and negative reporting on the right-wing in America and the Netherlands Wilders Deletes Twitter Party Snap Taken With US Right-Wing Politician. In general, Dutch Review reports news factually and with a strong left-center bias.
