Analysis / Bias
In review, Engadget publishes news, reviews, and information related to technology, science, gaming, entertainment, and business. Articles and headlines are not typically sensationalized, such as this Microsoft’s unified Office experience comes to iPad and this Extreme cold snap causes T-Mobile outages in Texas and other parts of the US. All stories reviewed were sourced from credible media outlets.
Editorially, Engadget does not have a section dedicated to opinions, but they do report on politics as it relates to their genre, such as this Huawei suppliers push to reverse Trump’s last minute blows. This story is negative toward the former Trump administration, while this story is favorable for the Biden admin; how Biden and Harris could refocus the White House on science. In general, Engadget is a reliable and low-biased source for tech information, but they lean left when reporting on political issues.
