Analysis / Bias
The Tangle website and newsletter provide side-by-side news summaries covering political issues. They also write original fact-based news stories, often with minimal bias, like Biden authorizes Ukraine to use long-range weapons in Russia. This story, like all the others reviewed, utilizes credible sources like Reuters, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. These news stories feature sections for what the Right and the Left are saying, providing a balanced perspective.
Editorially, at the end of the stories, they have a “My Take” section in which the author expresses their opinion. For example, in A trans bathroom controversy in Congress, the author provides a balanced opinion that “Both sides of this issue are attached to realities that simply don’t exist.” A review of several stories generally demonstrates balanced reporting and opinions with minimal bias.
