Analysis / Bias
In review, Vanity Fair primarily covers culture, fashion, and current affairs. They occasionally report on politics using very strong emotionally loaded words such as this: TRUMP LOSES HIS MIND IN 60-TWEET TIRADE AFTER FIREFIGHTERS ENDORSE BIDEN. This story is properly sourced to well-known media outlets such as the New York Times. Editorially, story selection almost always favors the left, and they routinely report negatively on the right.
