These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources.

  • Overall, we rate NH Journal Mostly Factual for reporting rather than High due to not always aligning with the consensus on human-influenced climate change and a lack of transparency with ownership.

Analysis / Bias

The NH Journal utilizes strong, loaded words in headlines and articles, such as Dems Cast Vote to Kill NH #FITN Primary. However, they typically present both sides of political news, such as AG Formella’s Focus On Protecting the Public Also Looks a Lot Like Smart Politics. NH Journal usually uses credible sources to support their information, such as Reason, bls.gov, and Forbes.

In opinion pieces regarding economics and climate change, NH Journal has a right-leaning bias and utilizes sources such as the corporately funded National Center, which does not always support the consensus of science regarding climate change. Some authors downplay climate change, and its impacts, such as this Hypocrisy Abounds at Climate Summit. This story is written by Bjorn Lomborg, the author of the book “False Alarm — How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet.” Lomborg believes that climate change is occurring and humans are responsible but disputes that the effects and economic impacts will be negative. Finally, Lomborg has made false and unsupported claims regarding climate change.
