Analysis / Bias
In review, Fabiosa publishes clickbait sensationalized news stories with emotional wording such as this: 85-Year-Old Woman Survives Hurricane Dorian After Floating In Her Chair For 3 Days In Rising Waters: “She Is A Living Miracle.” Fabiosa rarely covers political news; however, they do cover political figures in a sensational manner such as this: Book Claims Melania And Ivanka Trump Don’t Get Along Well, But Ivana Trump Says Her Daughter “Likes” Melania.
Fabiosa also reports on alternative health that promotes pseudoscience. For example, they promote that essential oils can cure cancer What Oncologists Keep Silent About: Essential Oils Can Be Very Effective Against Cancer. There isn’t medical evidence to support this claim. In general, they report sensationalized stories that are not always factual.
