Analysis / Bias

WhatCulture publishes news and information on entertainment focusing on film, tv, gaming, comics, music and WWE. They also produce quizzes such as this Friends Quiz: Who Did It – Chandler, Monica Or Both? When reporting on entertainment they use sensational wording such as this 8 Actors Who Scared Other Actors So Much They Forgot Their Lines.

Editorially, they rarely report on politics unless it relates to entertainment such as this 10 Celebs You Wouldn’t Expect To Be Republicans. We cannot find any evidence of WhatCulture taking editorial stances. In general, they are factual and low biased.
