Analysis / Bias
Voice of Rural America exhibits a strong right-leaning bias, especially through its commentary on U.S. politics and election-related topics. The outlet heavily features opinion pieces and analysis that support conservative narratives, often questioning the integrity of the 2020 election and portraying Democratic leaders and policies unfavorably. For example, several articles promote skepticism about the U.S. election system, particularly in states like Georgia and Pennsylvania, where contributors argue that electoral processes are vulnerable to manipulation.
Articles, headlines, and editorial perspectives routinely favor the right and denigrate the left like this: “Trump goes to New Mexico to ask for the vote. He went to Madison Square Garden asking for the vote. The media is losing it. How dare he ask for their vote. Kamala is a cracker.”
The Voice of Rural America generally lacks credibility as it is not transparent and wholly one-sided.
