Analysis / Bias

In review, the Lethbridge Herald reports local news through reporters with minimal bias, such as this Man charged in standoff with RCMP makes first appearance. National news comes from the Canadian Press, and world news from the Associated Press.

Editorially, more op-eds favor the left, with very few negative articles regarding liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and many supporting pro-environmental changes such as this Alberta needs more clean-energy projects. In general, the news is reported factually and with a left-leaning editorial bias.
