Analysis / Bias
A review of the content on News89TV.com demonstrates that they generally publish sensational sports-related news, such as Simone Biles Hits Back at Users Criticizing Her ‘Fried’ Hair at the Olympics. This story provides links to advertisements and not third-party content to validate its claims.
In another story Several Athletes Fall Ill After Swimming in the Seine River at Paris Olympics they make the false claim that Olympic Athletes were getting sick after swimming in the Seine River due to possible E.Coli. According to Lead Stories, those who got sick were due to the heat, not water quality.
Finally, as evidenced by failed fact checks, they have made other false claims. In general, News89TV.com does not demonstrate political bias but publishes sensationalized news to get clicks on advertising.
