These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias.  They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appealing to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes.  These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

• Overall, we rate National News Watch slightly Left-Center Biased based on source selection that leans left. We also rate them Mostly Factual rather than High due to a lack of transparency.

Analysis / Bias

National Newswatch typically publishes news from other Canadian media outlets such as the Calgary Herald, CTV News, and the Canadian Press. The website is balanced in left and right-leaning sources.  National Newswatch also has an opinion page that publishes opinion pieces from other Canadian media outlets, and original pieces such as this Our Sense of Patriotism Has Changed. This op-ed slightly favors the left, while many republished op-eds come from right-leaning Postmedia sources such as the National Post. In general, the bias of this website is a very slight left lean with most news reported factually.
