Analysis / Bias

Newsful covers various topics with sensational headlines similar to its companion site Eat This, Not That! Sections like Nostalgia and Relationships sometimes feature pseudoscience content, such as the “How to Find Your Soulmate, According to New Trending TikTok Moon Test,” promoting pseudoscientific beliefs by giving credence to astrological practices, even though it includes critical viewpoints from experts. The article references sources like ABC News and Space.com alongside niche sources such as Yoga Journal and an astrologer.

Articles like “Proven Ways to Reverse the Signs of Aging Naturally” offer common-sense health and wellness tips, citing sources such as Nature.com and NCBI.nlm.nih.gov, but also lesser-known blogs like LongHealthyLife.co, robinfischman.coach, and Advanced-You.com, which may vary in reliability.

Newsful occasionally covers political topics within its broader content framework. For example, “Biden’s Temper: Does He Really Have a Short Fuse?” uses emotionally loaded language and anonymous sources to portray President Joe Biden’s temper negatively, citing sources like Axios, CNN, and NBC News. Similarly, “Donald Trump’s Golf Facts” provides a mix of positive and negative anecdotes about Trump’s golfing habits, referencing sources like the Palm Beach Post and sportswriter Rick Reilly. Newsful’s articles generally range from informative to critical, balancing credible sources with more niche references. The site sometimes promotes pseudoscience but typically provides well-sourced information.
