Bias
60%
Examples:
- However, the author also provides context and counterarguments, such as mentioning that some observers fear that DeSantis' move to force people to reveal their immigration status at hospitals is keeping them away from seeking urgent care, thus driving down the Medicaid spending. They also include quotes from both sides of a debate (e.g. regarding censorship claims against the Biden White House).
- Overall, while there is a slight negative slant in the coverage, it can be considered reasonably balanced.
- The author has a slight bias towards presenting negative information about the subjects they cover.
