Analysis / Bias
In review, Just Security has multiple writers who each have their own opinions; however, most opinions align moderately to the left. Articles often contain loaded emotional headlines such as this: The Trump-Giuliani Election Plan: Manipulating Voters. This story is very well sourced from credible media outlets such as Politico, New York Times, Axios, and the Washington Post. Editorially, Just Security frequently reports negatively on President Trump: Trump’s True Betrayal: A Pattern of Soliciting Foreign Interference in US Elections, while supporting left-leaning causes such as this Climate Change Denialism Poses a National Security Threat. Both of these stories are appropriately sourced. In general, Just Security reports factually with a left-leaning editorial bias.
