Analysis / Bias

In review, Good publishes news and commentary from a liberal/progressive perspective. Articles and headlines often use emotionally loaded wording that denigrates the right such as this Fox News uses the word ‘hate’ far more often than MSNBC or CNN. When reporting on conservatives, they often present a negative tone, such as this Trump denounced for falsely claiming presidential election victory.

Editorially, Good frequently reports in the environment with concern for climate change 416 PPM: Carbon in atmosphere hits new record high and no one is talking about it. Other positions held are pro-human rights, pro-choice and pro-science positions on Covid-19. Generally, the news is reported factually and with a strong left-leaning bias.
