LEFT-CENTER BIAS
These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal 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 Latest.com as Left-Center Biased due to its self-described mission to challenge mainstream narratives and its occasional framing that leans critical of establishment perspectives. We also rate the site Mixed for factual reporting because, although current content is generally less partisan than in the past, the lack of ownership disclosure, unclear sourcing, and limited transparency reduce overall reliability.

Analysis / Bias
Latest.com is a news aggregation website that curates and summarizes stories across multiple topics, including politics. A review of its current content indicates a noticeable shift from its earlier incarnation, which previously demonstrated a strong left-wing editorial tone. Presently, most political headlines and summaries are written in a relatively neutral, informational style and resemble standard wire-style or aggregated news reporting rather than overt opinion pieces. While the site positions itself as challenging “mainstream” narratives, there is limited evidence in current content of consistent ideological attacks on conservatives or explicit promotion of progressive causes.
That said, the site lacks transparency in authorship and sourcing consistency. Many articles do not clearly identify original sources or provide direct links to primary reporting, which limits verifiability. While the tone is less partisan than in the past, the absence of editorial transparency and inconsistent sourcing prevent a higher factual rating.
