Analysis / Bias
In review, Lifenews.com primarily reports on anti-a******n news with the use of loaded language such as this: Bishop Slams Andrew Cuomo for Signing Bill Legalizing A******ns Up to Birth: You’re No Catholic. Sourcing for this article comes from the factually mixed Daily Caller. Lifenews.com also covers political news with a strong right wing bias such as this: Seven Times the Liberal Media Swooned Over Their Liberal Heroes This Year. This story is also poorly sourced to the factually mixed NewsBusters.
In general, all stories on LifeNews.com favors a far right Christian perspective and routinely denigrate liberal ideology.
A factual search reveals a few mixed claims as well as a false claim by an IFNC fact checker. LifeNews has also been accused of fabricating news.
Overall, we rate LifeNews.com Right Biased based on story se******n that always favors a Christian Right perspective. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to use of poor sources and a mixed fact check record. (D. Van Zandt 2/1/2017) Updated (1/24/2019)
