RIGHT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using an appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.
- Overall, Must Read Alaska is a right-biased outlet with strong conservative editorial positioning and recurrent culture-war content. Factual reporting is mixed due to poor sourcing, one-sided commentary, and promotion of pseudoscientific/unsupported claims.

Funded by / Ownership
The site presents itself as independently owned; it solicits reader support via Support MRAK and features advertising. The site lists a physical mailing address (Homer, Alaska) and a contact email, but does not provide detailed ownership/LLC disclosures or a full masthead, resulting in partial transparency.
Analysis / Bias
News and culture posts appear, but commentary is heavily right-leaning with recurring emphasis on gender/education culture-war frames. For example, an unsigned column alleges schools “hide gender transitions from parents”. It asserts federal probes and violations without sourcing or links, using loaded language about DEI and “indoctrination” (Tim Barto column).
Another commentary ridicules Democratic messaging, citing a “Third Way memo” without providing links or documents, instead relying on mockery rather than evidence (Listicle). The site also publishes medical-policy opinions that promote ivermectin efficacy claims and portray agencies/media as suppressing a “life-saving medicine,” again without providing study citations, RCT links, or robust sourcing (Linda Boyle on Pierre Kory/ivermectin). Straight news is present but often interwoven with editorial framing; consistent lack of hyperlinks in sampled items indicates weak sourcing standards.
Failed Fact Check
- We did not locate third-party fact checks of Must Read Alaska specifically; however, multiple articles contain unsupported or pseudoscientific assertions and omit corroborating sources. Examples include the unsourced claims of federal investigations and district policies in the Tim Barto column; the unlinked “Third Way” memo in the Listicle; and medical claims favoring ivermectin in the Linda Boyle piece.
Overall, Must Read Alaska is a right-biased outlet with strong conservative editorial positioning and recurrent culture-war content. Factual reporting is mixed due to poor sourcing, one-sided commentary, and promotion of pseudoscientific/unsupported claims. (D. Van Zandt 08/30/2025)
