LEFT-CENTER BIAS
These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appealing 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 EuroWeekly News as Left-Center Biased based on story selection that moderately favors the left. We also rate them as Mostly Factual in reporting rather than high due to the use of sources who have failed fact checks and an unproven claim.

Analysis / Bias
EuroWeekly News focuses on community news and issues relevant to expatriates living in Spain. It claims to deliver news with a social conscience. The paper does not exhibit a strong political or ideological bias.
The first article we reviewed, “Holly Willoughby Kidnap Threat,” reports on a kidnap conspiracy against TV presenter Holly Willoughby. It cites credible and factually mixed sources, including The Independent, and maintains a neutral tone. However, the article also includes an unnamed “insider” as a source, which could be seen as tabloid-like reporting.
The second article we reviewed is “Meghan Markle: From Royal Duchess to U.S. Politics,” which discusses Meghan Markle’s rumored entry into U.S. politics, mainly the speculation around her potentially filling a vacant Senate seat. It cites Angela Levin, a Royal Family author, and refers to an article from the Daily Express with a Right-Center bias. Overall, the article provides factual information but includes some elements that could be interpreted as editorializing.
The last article we reviewed, “The Internet Hilariously Takes Down Sunak’s New Approach to Net Zero,” critiques UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak‘s net-zero strategy through satire and social media reactions. Citing the UK government’s Net-Zero Strategy document, the article leans towards a left-center bias, given its critical view of right-center Sunak.
