RIGHT BIAS

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative 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 conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

  • Overall, we rate PILF Right Biased based on story selection that almost always favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to a false claim and association with others who have poor records with facts.

Analysis / Bias

In review, the Public Interest Legal Foundation’s sole purpose is to prevent voter/election fraud. On their website, they offer a blog and reports, some of which contain loaded wording that favors the right: Safe Spaces: How Sanctuary Cities Are Giving Cover to Noncitizens on the Voter Rolls. PILF also appears to support the endorsement of Michelle Malkin and Laura Ingraham, both of whom have very poor records with fact-checkers. Overall, the story selection featured in their blog leans strongly right through sourcing of right-wing outlets and media personalities.
