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 using appeal 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.
Update: This source has not published new material since 2021.
- Overall, we rate Global Real News Left-Center Biased based on news coverage that favors the left and Pro-Science when reporting on science-related stories. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting, not because of false information, but rather for not openly displaying the “news” tag on the website. This is both misleading and deceptive to readers.

Analysis / Bias
In review, Global Real News writes original articles on science and scientific studies, however, it should be noted that they have not published a story since August 10, 2019. Stories typically have captivating titles to interest the reader such as this: The Extravagant Courtship Of Wolf Spiders Ends In A Deadly Trap. This story is appropriately sourced to the journal Behavioral Processes. In general, all of the science-related stories are credible.
Interestingly, this website has a hidden tag called “news” in which they take a news story published on Reddit and analyze the comments to determine if they are positive or negative and objective or subjective. The primary author for these analyzed Reddit posts is Karen Crowder. While the “news” tag is hidden and the articles not openly visible on the website, neither is Karen Crowder listed on the “meet the team” page. In our review of Karen Crowder’s assessments on what is negative or objective etc, we find that she is generally accurate in her determinations. However, the stories she chooses to analyze typically favor the left, especially when it comes to climate change action, where she disclaims: “As this is a story very close to my heart, we are digging deeper into this development and will update this post as soon as we are done.”
A factual search reveals they have not failed a fact check.
Overall, we rate Global Real News Left-Center Biased based on news coverage that favors the left and Pro-Science when reporting on science-related stories. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting, not because of false information, but rather for not openly displaying the “news” tag on the website. This is both misleading and deceptive to readers.
