Funded by / Ownership

Vulture is owned by Vox Media, which is a digital publishing network founded by Jerome Armstrong, Tyler Bleszinski, and Markos Moulitsas and based in Washington, D.C. According to a Nieman Lab article, Vox Media had eight editorial brands and a custom advertising division. 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. Further, a New York Times article dated 2015 states that NBC Universal, which Comcast owns, invested $200 Million in Vox Media. Revenue for Vulture is generated through advertising.

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 moderately 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.
