Analysis / Bias
In review, TheImproper primary reports on entertainment and culture about New York City. They also occasionally report political news with a strong left leaning bias such as this article: Tucker Carlson Scolded By Journalist Brit Hume for Hate Mongering (See!). This particular article does not contain linked sourcing, however it is an opinion piece centering around a video clip, which they provide and therefore does not require it. In another piece highly critical of the right, (Brett Kavanaugh History of Lying, Zealotry, Hypocrisy Disqualifies Him for High Court) there is significant use of loaded language denigrating Brett Kavanaugh and the right in general, however, the information is properly sourced to court documents and other credible media outlets.
A factual search reveals that TheImproper has not failed a fact check.
Overall, we rate TheImproper Left Biased based on editorial position that favor the left and loaded language, as well as High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing. (D. Van Zandt 9/12/2018)
