Analysis / Bias
In review, Vanity Fair primarily covers culture, fashion and current affairs. They occasionally report on politics with the use of 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 favor the left and they routinely report negatively on the right.
