Analysis / Bias
In review, if you have made it this far you can see this is a strong right biased news and opinion source. Articles utilize moderately loaded language that favors the right, such as this: Barr Expands Probe of Obama-Era Wrongdoing: Collaborating With CIA Director Haspel and ODNI Coats. This article is sourced to Fox News. Some articles are not sourced at all. However, some articles are sourced to highly questionable sources such as this. In general, all stories favor the right and denigrate the left with the use of poor right-leaning sources that have failed fact checks.
A factual search reveals numerous failed fact checks by IFCN fact-checkers.
