Analysis / Bias
In review, Fortune reports on business news with a clear distinction between straight news and opinion pieces. Articles do not use loaded language such as How Bill and Melinda Gates Are Transforming Life for Billions in the 21st Century. This story, like all on Fortune, is properly sourced to credible media. While Fortune does not always have a favorable view of President Trump, they always have a favorable view of business interests and limited government. When it comes to science, Fortune supports the consensus of scientists on issues such as climate change.
