Analysis / Bias

In review, Legal Insurrection is a conservative blog that frequently uses loaded language in articles and headlines such as this: Pitting Americans against each other in the “Climate Change” debate. This story uses proper sources such as The Hill and New York Times and the factually mixed Fox News. Other articles are unfavorable to the left, such as this: Croissant-gate: Ocasio-Cortez outraged by the inhumane cost of capitalist croissants at LaGuardia Airport. This article is primarily soured to Twitter posts. The Legal Insurrection frequently reports on climate change; though they do not outright deny human-influenced climate change, they do sow doubt and tend to favor free-market solutions. In general, all stories favor the right and denigrate the left.
