LEFT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.
Update: This source has not published since 2022.
- Overall, we rate Political Dig as left biased based on story selection and loaded language that favors the left. While they do source their information to mostly credible sources they do sometimes use sources that we have rated mixed, plus there isn’t any information about the authors, therefore we rate them mixed for factual reporting.
