Analysis / Bias
In review, Whatfinger.com is a news aggregation website that primary sources from right-wing news sources. Whatfinger sources from a wide variety of right-leaning websites, some of which are Mixed for factual reporting such as Breitbart and the Daily Wire. They also frequently source from Questionable sources such as the Geller Reportand the Gateway Pundit. While they do occasionally source from credible sources such as Reuters, this is rare as the majority are right-leaning. In general, all aggregated news favors the right.
Overall, we rate Whatfinger Right Biased based on sourcing and story selection and Mixed for factual reporting due to the use of poor sources and a lack of transparency. (D. Van Zandt 5/28/2018) Updated (10/4/2019)
