    The poll at the bottom for bias is hilarious…

    Especially for Newsweek, I’m sure since it’s a right leaning website every poll says articles have a strong liberal bias and Newsweek will use it as an excuse to bring more propaganda onboard so they’re “balanced”.

    Like how the fire department would be “balanced” if they hired as many arsonists as fire fighters…

      Bias Rating: RIGHT-CENTER Factual Reporting: MOSTLY FACTUAL

      Editorially, Newsweek features a wide variety of op-eds that range from right to left; however, in our review, more aligned with the right, such as this “Kyrsten Sinema Tells the Democratic Party to Go to Hell | Opinion” and this “How Wokeness Hurts Philanthropy | Opinion”

      Overall, we rate Newsweek Right-Center Biased based on editorial positions that slightly favor the right. We also rate them as Mostly Factual in reported rather than high due to having to make corrections on false information after publication. (5/18/2016) Updated (M. Huitsing 05/28/2023)

      Also, look at what kind of people their leadership is: https://www.techtimes.com/articles/277527/20220703/newsweek-ceo-dev-pragad-faces-lawsuit-for-fraud-and-betrayal.htm

      So there you go, makes sense to me
