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.

A factual search reveals they have failed one fact check.

As part of a federal lawsuit, U.S. President Donald Trump admitted criminal wrongdoing and said or argued to the effect that “My crimes can’t be investigated while I’m president.” – FALSE

Overall, we rate Vanity Fair Left Biased based on editorial positions that always favor the left and Mostly Factual in reporting, rather than High, due to a failed fact check. (10/18/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 9/25/2019)
