RIGHT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.
- Overall, we rate La Derecha Diario as Far-Right Biased based on its alignment with libertarian-nationalist ideology, strong editorial hostility toward leftist figures, and routine promotion of Javier Milei’s administration. We rate it Mixed for reporting accuracy, as it covers real news events, but uses inflammatory language, lacks source transparency, and often blends opinion with reporting.

Analysis / Bias
La Derecha Diario exhibits an overt far-right ideological bias. It’s reporting routinely glorifies President Javier Milei while demonizing leftist, Peronist, and Kirchnerist actors using loaded, emotional language. The framing often positions Milei and his allies as heroic reformers and the opposition as corrupt or ideologically dangerous.
For instance, in “Garrahan reclama que Axel Kicillof debe y no paga $4.100 millones,” the article praises Milei’s federal government for supporting children’s health, while blaming Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof for “delinquency” and “irresponsibility.” The piece editorializes heavily against provincial Peronist management.
In “El ultra-comunista Monteverde propuso proyecto para expropiar las tierras del Tambo,” the site attacks leftist candidate Juan Monteverde as “ultra-communist,” describing his politics as “a threat to freedom” and linking his proposals to “communism, drug trafficking, and the proliferation of social programs as a form of political domination.”
In another article, “Echaron delegada zurda del PAMI Bolsón por cerrar apoyo CFK,” the dismissal of a public health worker for attending a pro-Cristina Fernández demonstration is celebrated. The piece refers to her as a “left-wing delegate” and frames the firing as a necessary step toward depoliticizing public services.
Language such as “statism and decadence,” “ultra-communist,” and “Kirchnerist militants” are common across headlines, revealing a consistent editorial slant. The site also routinely elevates La Libertad Avanza party voices, echoing party talking points without challenge.
While many articles are based on real events and often cite government statements or social media posts, there is a lack of linked primary sources, and the tone is frequently polemical, undermining neutrality.
Failed Fact Checks

Overall, we rate La Derecha Diario as Far-Right Biased based on its alignment with libertarian-nationalist ideology, strong editorial hostility toward leftist figures, and routine promotion of Javier Milei’s administration. We rate it Mixed for reporting accuracy, as it covers real news events, but uses inflammatory language, lacks source transparency, and often blends opinion with reporting. (D. Van Zandt 06/29/2025)
