RIGHT-CENTER BIAS

They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources.
- Overall, we rate GIS Reports as right-center biased based on editorial and geopolitical positions that moderately align with the right. We also rate them as Mostly Factual for reporting rather than High due to a lack of transparency, poor sourcing techniques, and subjective interpretations of information.

History
GIS Reports/ Geopolitical Intelligence Services AG (GIS), established in 2011 by H.S.H. Prince Michael of Liechtenstein and based in Schaan, Liechtenstein, is a think tank specializing in geopolitical and economic forecasts. GIS focuses on politics, economy, energy, technology, and defense and claims to operate independently, without affiliations to any government, corporate, or media agency.
Additionally, GIS organizes various events and consulting formats, including live and online consultations, Q&A sessions, lectures, webinars, and reports, and hosts conferences and roundtables.
Funding by / Ownership
GIS Reports is owned by Geopolitical Intelligence Services AG, with Prince Michael of Liechtenstein as its founder and Chairman. He also chairs the European Center of Austrian Economics Foundation, a liberal think tank. The specifics of GIS’s revenue sources are not fully disclosed. While they offer advisory services as detailed on their website, the absence of explicit pricing contributes to a lack of transparency. Similarly, information about their ownership structure, including whether Prince Michael is the sole owner or other shareholders are involved, and detailed funding sources, including potential revenue from other operations, is not publicly available. The lack of transparent disclosure extends to the specifics of their subscription model and paywall setup.
Analysis / Bias
GIS Reports provide analysis of geopolitics and geopolitical trends. Prince Michael of Liechtenstein, founder and Chairman of GIS, also writes articles on current affairs categorized as “Comment,” for example, “Making the Free World Prevail.” This article by Prince Michael of Liechtenstein emphasizes the strengths and challenges of free societies. It critiques the West’s internal weaknesses and stresses the importance of traditional Western values, reflecting a conservative and traditionalist bias. The piece combines factual accuracy with subjective interpretations and critiques of Western societies.
Other articles are categorized as “Reports.” We analyzed a report titled “The Future of U.S.-Turkey Relations.” In this report, James Jay Carafano discusses U.S.-Turkey relations under the Biden administration, combining factual reporting with expert opinion. The report leans toward a conservative perspective, evident in phrases like “mitigating malicious Chinese and Russian behavior,” reflecting a traditional Western stance. It also criticizes the Biden administration’s uneven promotion of democracy, aligning with conservative viewpoints. However, the absence of external sources and references impacts objectivity.
Regarding sourcing, we found that many articles link back to previous GIS Reports stories and some to credible outside sources, and some none at all. This inconsistent reliance on external sources reduces their credibility.
Based on our analysis, GIS leans towards a conservative and traditionalist viewpoint, focusing on geopolitical analysis from a perspective that values historical context and traditional Western norms.
