Funded by / Ownership

The site is monetized through display advertising and possibly affiliate links. There is no evidence of institutional funding or formal journalistic oversight. The site’s domain registration is anonymized, and no ownership information is available through WHOIS or the website itself.

Analysis / Bias

Sinhalaguide.com exhibits a Left-Center Bias, primarily through its selection of topics and framing. The site frequently publishes articles that critique conservative figures and policies, often using sensational headlines and emotionally charged language. For example, the article titled “Pro-Trump Freight CEO Tariff Collapse” discusses the economic downturn in the freight industry, attributing it to pro-Trump tariffs, but lacks substantial sourcing or data to support the claims.

Another piece, “Federal Report Says Millennials Are Killing Plenty of Industries Because They’re Poor”, uses a provocative headline to discuss economic challenges faced by millennials, again with minimal sourcing. The article “One in Four Americans Have Stopped Shopping at Their Favorite Stores Due to Corporate Politics and Beliefs: Poll” cites a poll but does not provide a link to the original source or details about the methodology.

The site’s content often lacks hyperlinks to original sources, and there is minimal evidence of original reporting or fact-checking. Some articles appear to be AI-generated or rewritten from other sources without proper attribution.
