Analysis / Bias

In review, InsideSources utilizes strong loaded words in both headlines and articles, such as “How the Trump Administration Is Siding With International Terrorists Over American Citizens.” However, they typically present both sides of political news, such as: “Deficits and Punitive Taxes: President Obama’s Latest Budget Looks a Lot Like His Past.”  InsideSources usually uses credible sources to support their information such as: Weekly Standard, Washington Post, and Congress.gov. In opinion pieces regarding economics and climate change, InsideSources has a right leaning bias and utilizes sources such as the corporately funded American Enterprise Institute, which does not always support the consensus of science when it comes to climate change. Despite this, InsideSources, generally covers both sides and is therefore rated High for factual reporting with a Right-Center bias in story selection. (M. Huitsing 11/22/2017) Updated (8/24/2018)
