RIGHT BIAS

Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.
- Overall, we rate the Vermont Daily Chronicle as right-biased based on editorial positions and story selection that favor conservative-libertarian perspectives. We also rate them as Mostly Factual rather than high due to one-sided perspectives that may leave out countercontext.

Analysis / Bias
The Vermont Daily Chronicle exhibits a right-leaning bias, frequently aligning with conservative and libertarian viewpoints. It often critiques progressive policies, state-level climate initiatives, and gun control measures.
In “Don’t preach to me, California”, the publisher criticizes California’s environmental regulations and questions Vermont’s alignment with them, framing them as an overreach. Similarly, “Bradley: firearms ban in municipal buildings report ‘tragically flawed’” challenges proposed municipal firearm restrictions, emphasizing Second Amendment rights.
The publication also expresses skepticism toward climate change policies, as seen in “Repeal climate change laws, House GOP urges committee”, highlighting Republican efforts to roll back climate regulations. Cultural and ideological concerns are another recurring theme, evident in “Klar: woke theocracy dominates America”, where the author argues that progressive cultural dominance threatens American values. Additionally, in “Vermont falls six spots to 44th worst highways and bridges”, the publication focuses on government mismanagement and infrastructure issues, reinforcing its broader critique of state governance.
While the Chronicle does cover local news and state legislative matters, its editorial stance and selection of stories often emphasize conservative perspectives.
Failed Fact Checks
- There are no known fact-check failures for the Vermont Daily Chronicle. However, its Mostly factual rating is due to selective reporting that favors its ideological stance, occasionally presenting one-sided narratives without counterarguments.
Overall, we rate the Vermont Daily Chronicle as right-biased based on editorial positions and story selection that favor conservative-libertarian perspectives. We also rate them as Mostly Factual rather than high due to one-sided perspectives that may leave out countercontext. (D. Van Zandt 03/20/2025)
