Analysis / Bias
Oddee primarily focuses on entertainment and bizarre news. While most of its articles are non-political, an article like “10 Regretful Trump Supporters” illustrates a left-center bias by emphasizing regretful Trump supporters and the negative impacts of Trump’s policies.
The site uses emotionally loaded language and personal anecdotes without extensive sourcing, indicating a story selection and presentation bias. Due to the nature of the stories it covers, its content can sometimes lean towards sensationalism. For example, the article “California Man Paints Photorealistic Boat on Fence Meant to Hide His Boat” discusses a quirky local event without political undertones, citing United Press International (UPI), KSBW – Monterey News, and LA Times. Similarly, the article “People Urged to Steer Clear of Zebra Running Loose in Washington State” provides an amusing report on an unusual incident, focusing on the oddity citing KING –Seattle News.
The website supports its articles with sources and references where applicable, though the nature of the stories often prioritizes entertainment over strict factual reporting. Although it usually steers clear of political content, some articles analyzed demonstrate a left-center bias. While the site does cite sources in its articles, its primary goal is to entertain and engage readers with unusual stories rather than to provide in-depth political or factual analysis. The site’s ownership remains private, adding to the anonymity surrounding its operations.
