Analysis / Bias

In review, all articles favor the right and discredit the left. There is significant use of loaded emotional language in articles such as this: 2020 Alert! Creepy Joe gives timetable on decision, claims he’s ‘most qualified person’ to be president. Sourcing is typically to other right biased sources such as Fox News, who has a poor track record with fact-checkers and some are not sourced at all.

A factual search reveals that Media Equalizer has never been fact-checked by an IFCN fact-checker.
