Analysis / Bias

In review, Prospect Magazine is geared toward an educated reader with many articles exceeding 1000+ words that are highly detailed. Story selection often moderately favors the left and utilizes loaded headlines such as this: Constitutional vandalism is inherent to the Johnson-Cummings project. This story is appropriately sourced. Politically, Prospect Magazine is opposed to Brexit, believes climate change is a threat, and reports negatively on conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson. When reporting on USA politics they have a very negative view of President Donald Trump such as this: Donald Trump’s America: Welcome to the void. In general, Prospect Magazine reports news factually with moderate left editorial bias.
