Analysis / Bias
Point Report does not produce original journalism but republishes, rewrites (AI), or summarizes news from other sources. Articles and headlines often contain emotionally loaded language such as this Kamala Harris Now Has The Keys To The ‘Bidenbucks’ Election Machine and Illegal Gangs Shoot Up New York Migrant Shelter Killing Two. This last story does not contain hyperlinks nor credit for where it originated. A search reveals it was probably plagiarized from the New York Post.
Editorially, all the stories reviewed favor the right and, in particular, former President Donald Trump, with stories like this: Polls: Trump Edging Harris in Key Battleground States. This story is fact-based, citing credible pollsters; however, it is misleading as it does not indicate that Kamala Harris significantly improved over Joe Biden in the polls, which reveals that Trump is losing ground in the swing states.
The website also frequently denigrates immigrants by focusing solely on crimes committed like this: Illegal Alien Caught Stealing $200k in Food Stamps. When it comes to sourcing, they sometimes don’t cite sources at all and other times rely on right-biased and questionable sources like The Federalist, Breitbart, and Newsmax, which routinely promote propaganda and fail fact checks.
Failed Fact Checks
- None in the Last 5 years. They rely on sources who frequently fail fact checks.
Overall, we rate Point Report as far-right biased and Questionable based on its promotion of right-wing propaganda, the use of poor sources who frequently fail fact checks, evidence of plagiarism, and complete lack of transparency. (D. Van Zandt 07/28/2024)
