Analysis / Bias
Today is America exhibits a strong conservative bias, often relying on partisan and sometimes questionable sources. In the article “Who is Tim Walz,” they cite posts from anonymous and highly partisan X accounts like Libs of TikTok and End Wokeness, which are widely recognized for promoting politically charged and often factually questionable content. This reliance on anonymous and partisan sources significantly diminishes the article’s credibility.
In the article “14-Year-Old Girl Stabbed by Illegal Immigrant at Local Baseball Game,” the source of the claims is the anonymous X account Immigrant Crimes, which offers no verifiable credentials. Again, relying on anonymous and politically charged sources further undermines the site’s factual accuracy and editorial standards.
Editorially, Today is America offers strong support for former President Trump through articles like The Shot Heard Around The World. This story covers the assassination attempt on Donald Trump without hyperlinked sourcing. Further, they consistently denigrate Democrats with stories like this: Joe Biden, the Crooked Catholic.
In general, Today is America is a right-wing propaganda site that advocates for Donald Trump and conservatives. The site lacks credibility based on one-sided reporting, the use of poor or no sources, and a documented false claim.
