Analysis / Bias
Well+Good focuses on wellness topics and maintains a neutral tone in its articles. The website covers a range of subjects, from health and fitness to beauty and lifestyle. However, we found some instances of the website promoting pseudoscience, such as astrology Each Day of the Week Is Ruled by a Planet in Astrology—Here’s How To Align Your Calendar With the Cosmos. Further, some stories are product endorsements that can bought on the site, which may be biased: The New Brooks Ghost Max Shoes Offer Max Cushion and Comfort—No Matter What Surface You’re Running On.
Editorially, Well+Good holds negative views of former President Trump, like this President-Elect Biden Is So Much More Than ‘The Guy Who Isn’t Trump, and negatively on Conservatives in general Here’s How Mike Pence’s Views and Policies Affect Your Well-Being. Generally, Well+Good holds progressive left viewpoints and occasionally promotes pseudoscience.
