These are (sports-focused) SB Nation, (tech site) The Verge, (real estate blog) Curbed, (food and nightlife) Eater, (technology news) Racked, (news hub) Vox and (technology business) Recode. However, in 2019 they merged with New York Media adding New York Magazine, The Cut, and others.

Analysis / Bias
In review, Vulture primarily covers entertainment news, however when they cover news related to politics they have a left-leaning bias in story selection. Vulture uses moderate loaded words when describing conservatives: “Colbert Sings a Scathing Cowboy Ballad for Roy Moore and the Horse He Rode in On.” Further, all articles are well sourced to credible media outlets.
