LEFT-CENTER BIAS

They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appealing 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.
- Overall, we rate Jagonews24.com as a Left-Center biased and Mostly Factual Bangladeshi outlet. It produces standard, event-based journalism but operates in an environment with restricted press freedom and limited editorial independence, resulting in a mild pro-government lean and moderate transparency gaps.

Analysis / Bias
Jagonews24 presents mainstream national and international news in both Bangla and English, typically aligning with government narratives and portraying officials in a positive light. For instance, a story on Eid-e-Miladunnabi coverage praises the president and chief adviser’s messages, showing mild favoritism toward the current left-leaning administration.
The portal uses basic sourcing, with official statements and press releases, but lacks consistent hyperlinks or references. News articles, such as the Teknaf kidnapping report, follow straightforward police summaries without analysis, showcasing routine factual reporting. However, limited criticism of state authorities reflects mild pro-government bias.
