Analysis / Bias

In review, The Orange County Register reports local news through reporters with minimal bias such as this 14,000 people have been tested for coronavirus in Orange County as of April 13. National and international news is provided by multiple sources that are factually accurate.

Editorially, the OC Register has not endorsed a presidential candidate since the last century. However, on the local level, they tend to endorse libertarian/conservative-leaning politicians. A review of op-eds indicates a reasonable balance, but more favor the right such as this Faulconer looks like the main GOP hope for a breakthrough. In general, the news is reported factually and with a right-leaning editorial bias.

Overall, we rate the Orange County Register Right-Center biased based on editorial positions that slightly favor a libertarian/conservative perspective. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact check record.  (D. Van Zandt 7/16/2016) Updated (2/16/2021)
