These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.
- Overall, we rate Puck.News Left-Center biased based on editorial positions that moderately favor the left. We also rate them Mostly Factual rather than High due to a lack of hyperlinked sourcing and a failed fact check.

Analysis / Bias
Puck.News produces long and short-form journalism covering economics, technology, entertainment, and politics. Articles and headlines contain emotionally loaded language, such as this CNN+’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold. While this story references other sources, it fails to provide hyperlinks to the information. The site relies on credible sources such as the New York Times and CBS News.
Editorially, more stories favor the left, such as how the Trump-McCarthy Romance Ends and The Trump-Oz-“Dave” Love Triangle Takes a Dark Turn. A quote from another article frames a conservative candidate in a negative light “In recent months, he resigned from Bridgewater, moved back to the Pittsburgh burbs, slapped on a barn jacket, began tweeting Bible verses, and (presumably juiced by his wife’s old White House contacts) engaged a slew of former Trump staffers—Hope Hicks, Stephen Miller and Cliff Sims among them—to whip up some deplorable enthusiasm around his candidacy.” In general, news reporting is mostly factual and holds a left-leaning editorial bias.
