Analysis / Bias
Mass Daily News heavily features sensational and one-sided coverage of crime, immigration, and Democratic officials. A story on Boston’s drug problems (“Drugged-up Southie woman mows down pedestrian”) uses loaded language (“snapshot of a city unraveling”) and blames Mayor Michelle Wu without balance.
Another article, “Ayanna Pressley exposed,” amplifies a New York Post report with framing portraying Pressley as hypocritical, without including her responses. Immigration coverage, such as “ICE hurricane slams Massachusetts,” relies on dramatic language (“a storm that scattered illegal aliens like debris across the Commonwealth and left ICE vans filling up with violent offenders”) and reprints claims from the Boston Herald.. Overall, sourcing is weak, often limited to ideologically aligned outlets or unattributed reporting, and content relies on emotionally charged narratives rather than balanced analysis.
