Alternet Media Bias

---

August 19, 2023 (?): The source exhibits a left-leaning bias by depicting Republicans and Donald Trump unfavorably.

References to Trump's legal trouble ^[Alternet] and his money diversion ^[Alternet] all mirror a negative portrayal.

It characterizes Republicans as engaging in dishonest tactics ^[Alternet], cutting benefits for the poor ^[Alternet], and undermining democracy ^[Alternet].

The source also applauds Democratic victories ^[Alternet].

Moreover, it implies a negative view of pro-life stances and evangelicals ^{[Alternet][Alternet]}, and criticizes far-right violence ^[Alternet].

A bias of omission exists as no critique or negative perspectives of Democrats are presented.

The tacit assumption seems to be that the left-leaning side is 'correct' and the right-leaning side is inherently problematic with blindspots possibly overlooking potential positives of Republican policies or negatives of Democratic actions.
