Analysis / Bias
In review, MetroWest Daily covers local news through journalists with minimally loaded words such as this: Marijuana cultivator gets city’s approval to open in Framingham. National and world news is covered by the Associated Press. Information is properly sourced and attributed correctly throughout the paper and website. Editorially, there is a reasonable balance between left and right-leaning opinions. However, there is more that lean left, and they never publish extremes.
