These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources.

• Overall, we rate HonestReporting Right-Center Biased based on support for right-leaning nationalist political parties. We also rate them as Mostly Factual rather than High due to the promotion of nationalist propaganda.

Analysis / Bias

In review, HonestReporting reports on the news where they perceive that Israel was portrayed unfairly. Many stories are negative toward Palestine and attempt to portray Israel as a victim, such as this Reuters Ignores Palestinian Rejectionism and Violence as Cause of Conflict.

We are not saying they are wrong, simply that the opinion may be biased based on where one stands. With that said, this website is 100% biased in favor of Israel and generally favors the political right with stories such as this HR Supports ADL Against Far-Left Cancel Culture. This story is credibly sourced to the ADL, Forward, and Washington Post.

Editorially, they hold pro-Israel nationalist positions in favor of Benjamin Netanyahu and the current nationalist parties. Some might call them a propaganda source.
