Analysis / Bias
In review, every headline and article on Right Wing News utilizes very strong loaded emotional language such as: Excellent: Trump Looking To Build More Jails For Illegals. All articles favor the right in story selection and denigrate the left. In particular this source likes to expose crimes and/or negative stories that relate to people of color or Islam. Further, many articles use sources that are rated as Questionable or on the extreme end of right wing. They also have a Mostly False Claim by an IFCN fact checker.
Overall, we rate Right Wing News as a Questionable source based on extreme right wing bias, poor sourcing and promotion of propaganda. (10/19/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 09/01/2018)
