Analysis / Bias
In review, The Toledo Blade reports local news through journalists with minimal loaded words and proper sourcing. National and World news come primarily from the Associated Press. Editorially, according to Ballotpedia, the Toledo Blade always endorses Democratic candidates in Presidential elections. However, in 2016 they did not endorse either candidate and in 2020 they endorsed Republican Donald Trump for President. A thorough review of editorial columns indicates that they publish both sides, however right-leaning opinion outweighs the left.
