Analysis / Bias
In review, this website features news and opinions from a right-wing Christian perspective. Headlines often contain loaded emotional language that favors the right such as this: Pelosi FURIOUS After Learning Trump Wants to Bus Illegals to ‘Sanctuary Cities’. This story is sourced to the Washington Post and the Questionable Blaze. Update America does not perform original news reporting, but rather quotes news stories from mostly mainstream sources and interjects conservative opinions. Editorially, Update America is Pro-Life and anti-LGBTQ. In general, this a Christian Right website with a strong conservative bias.
Overall, we rate Update America Right Biased based on story selection and editorial opinions that favor the Christian Right. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to the use of poor sources and a lack of transparency. (D. Van Zandt 7/28/2019)
