Analysis / Bias
YourTango covers a wide range of topics, including horoscopes and astrology, which are generally considered pseudoscientific. These sections offer astrological insights and predictions, which lack scientific backing and can be viewed as promoting pseudoscience. The website’s content varies, with a mix of personal stories, expert advice, and wellness tips, which may not always adhere to scientific consensus. A typical story reads A Karmic Relationship Ends For 3 Zodiac Signs On February 5, 2024.
Editorially, YourTango covers politics and politicians, often favoring a liberal perspective. For example, they frequently report negatively on Trump like this Inside Donald Trump’s Attempts To ‘Aggressively Pursue’ Princess Diana Despite Giving Her ‘The Creeps’ and Why Ivanka Trump Quietly Stopped Supporting Her Father’s Political Career Over A Year Ago. Of note, they also do not report favorably on current President Biden either but they appear to dislike Trump more Why Taylor Swift Would Make A Better President Than Donald Trump Or Joe Biden.
In general, YourTango promotes light pseudoscience related to astrology and spirituality. Further, when reporting on politics, they tend to favor the left moderately.
