Analysis / Bias

Articles and headlines often feature loaded emotional wording such as this OH NO! $3 Trillion Have Been WIPED from Americans’ Retirement Savings. This particular story is properly sourced from credible outlets.
Editorially, Valuetainment aligns with the right through frequently reporting negatively on President Joe Biden, such as this Did He Think Of This As He Was Falling Off His Bike?

On the other hand, they report positively on former President Trump Manhattan’s DA Was Fishing For A Whale But Caught A Minnow.

When it comes to science, they often promote vaccine hesitancy and Covid misinformation.
