LEFT-CENTER BIAS

They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.
- Overall, we rate Egyptian Streets left-center biased based on the sources used and their support of women’s rights. We rate them mixed for factual reporting based on the occasional use of poor sources and limited press freedom in Egypt.

According to a Reporters Without Borders 2024 report, Egypt ranks 170 out of 180 in the 2024 World Press Freedom Index. Meaning news reporting in Egypt by default must promote pro-government propaganda.
The content of headlines and articles use minimal loaded words and generally cover both sides of the story when covering international news. They also occasionally use poor sources such as CBN, which is a known conspiracy website. For the most part, they link to several known left-center mainstream media sources such as BBC, NPR, and The Washington Post.
