Analysis / Bias
In review, Free Rein News is a strongly left biased news and opinion website where all articles favor the left and/or denigrate the right. There is significant use of loaded emotional language in headlines, such as: “Congressman Absolutely Shreds Trump With Ridiculing Pictures, Treats Trump Like A Child (IMAGE)” However, the wording of articles is less emotional and direct in tone, though certainly favorable to the left. All articles reviewed are sourced back to verifiable media outlets such as The Hill and Los Angeles Times. Although headlines are very sensational, the content of articles is reasonably written and properly sourced.
A factual search reveals that Free Rein News has either never failed a fact check or has not been fact checked by an IFCN fact checker.
Overall, we rate Free Rein News strongly Left Biased based on wording and story selection that always favors the left and High for factual reporting due to use of proper sources. (D. Van Zandt 11/4/2017) Updated (7/12/2018)
