Analysis / Bias
In review, PM Nightly News does not report original news, but rather summarizes existing news stories with conservative opinions. Articles and headlines utilize loaded emotional wording that favors the right such as this Looters in Chicago attacked Ronald McDonald House with sick children inside, charity says. This story is properly sourced. Other stories are sourced to only Twitter and Instagram with a strong right-leaning bias. Regardless, this not a credible news source.
