      These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.

      • Overall, we rate Vox Left Biased due to wording and story selection that routinely favors the left. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting, rather than High, due to two failed fact checks, with only one offering a correction.

        What's wrong with "Mostly factual" ?

          In review, Vox looks at the issues from a progressive liberal perspective and there is also an anti-Trump tone in their reporting. Therefore, the majority of stories are pro-left and anti-right. Further, Vox publishes stories with emotionally loaded headlines such as When it comes to sourcing, Vox typically utilizes credible sources such as the NY Times, Associated Press, and Bloomberg.
          A factual search reveals two failed fact checks.

                  I guess it's clear why his rep power is as low as it is.
                  It used to be higher, 48 if I remember correctly, and he had more than one Green Card. That was before the first time he posted what I replied to. One of his buddies must have given him a Green card because after I Red carded him he dropped to 2 Red cards and 0 Rep Power. I have also reported him for disrespect to Contributors and senior techs.

                    sure! any one employed there can help influence the out come.

                    Just like Fakebook did when they had The Southern Poverty Law Center as a HATE SPEECH moderator.

                    Hate, Inc.: The SPLC Is a Hyper-Partisan Scam

                    The purported fact-finding group is in fact a machine for turning leftist hysteria into cash. There was a time when the Southern Poverty Law Center did useful work reporting on actual hate groups such as the KKK. These days, though, the SPLC is simply a MoveOn or Media Matters–style outfit. Its core mission now is trying to marginalize and shut up even mildly right-of-center voices by calling them instruments of hate, making increasingly strained attempts to tie conservative commentators, authors, political figures, and professors to the alt-right or neo-Nazism. At the same time it elevates absurd bloggers to the level of potential leaders of lynch mobs.



                    The equivalent of a Drudge-siren moment for SPLC is when it rolls out yet another faux-neutral report on hate, which is always getting worse and threatening to engulf the republic. The SPLC’s report on “Male supremacy,” which it calls “a hateful ideology for the subjugation of women” and ties to the men’s-rights activists lurking on 4Chan and Reddit who boast about their supposed dominance of women, lists as pernicious allies the psychologist, author, and PJ Media columnist Helen Smith and the American Enterprise Institute scholar Christina Hoff Sommers, calling them “anti-feminist female voices” who “give the men’s rights movement a veneer of even-handedness” and lend a “mainstream and respectable face to some MRA concerns.”

                    You will search Smith’s and Sommers’s writings in vain for the sort of chest-thumping idiocies espoused by men’s-rights bloggers such as Paul Elam of the site A Voice for Men or “Roosh V.” (a.k.a. Daryush Valizadeh), a self-proclaimed “pickup artist” from the site Return of Kings. The SPLC is designating both of these websites “hate groups,” which offers an answer to the question of why the number of hate groups always seems to be growing in the SPLC’s tabulations. Got a blog you use to attract clicks by saying the most outrageous things you can come up with in between playing shoot-’em-up games on the PlayStation? Congratulations, you’re a “hate group.” Just like the Nazi party.

                    Elam and Valizadeh have said plenty of controversial, indeed hateful, things, but what fault is that of such distinguished scholars as Sommers and Smith? Nothing either of them has written gets quoted in the report. We’re meant to take the SPLC’s word for it that these women somehow “give a mainstream and respectable face” to the louts. Sommers told The Weekly Standard that she used to admire the SPLC, but now “they’re blacklisting in place of engaging with arguments. They blacklist you, rather than try to refute you.” Smith (a contributor to the Instapundit blog run by her husband, Glenn Reynolds) wrote at PJ Media, “I get emails and letters from men across the US and even other countries who tell me about the difficulties and downright atrocities that they are dealing with” but they find themselves subjected to “contempt by society, the courts and miserable, misandric places like the Southern Poverty Law Center.”

                      It means that their articles are frequently lies. Considering that it is the left who are using Nazi tactics and trying to confiscate personal weapons like Hitler did in Germany the article you posted was one of those containing lies.

                          Considering that Twitter is owned by Facebook and the Facebook owner is a liberal Democrat, they are trying to silence the truth.

                              Rashida Tlaib Detained After Protest Outside of Airport Terminal

                              🚨 BREAKING 🚨 @RashidaTlaib just got arrested with protesting airline catering workers outside @Delta#1job pic.twitter.com/RzwHX6Gy3jFebruary 14, 2020
                              Workers blocked an access road. Tlaib, who has a history of controversial public statements, joined the workers who were later arrested in blocking the road, and rode with them to the police station after their arrest, but she was not charged, according to the Detroit News

                              That fact caused some consternation on Twitter.
