LEFT-CENTER BIAS

They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appealing to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

Analysis / Bias
The Victoria Buzz covers news and events in and around the greater Victoria, BC area. Stories are usually written by staff reporters and use minimal bias in wording, such as this RCMP release photo of suspect wanted in north Nanaimo targeted shooting. The reports reference credible sources such as CTV and Global News.
Editorially, they appropriately label opinion content. A review of op-eds demonstrates reasonable balance with slightly more favoring the left, such as this: How Pride movements in Victoria are often not inclusive spaces. Generally, the news is reported factually and with a slight left-leaning editorial bias.
