It’s reassuring if true, but Newsweek are a right-wing disinformation source. Perhaps they’re reporting this straight, or perhaps this is disinformation aimed at a specific goal. In any case, nothing from them should be taken at face value unless verified from a reputable source.
Huh, I had assumed Newsweek was mostly left, but it looks like you're correct:
Bias Rating: RIGHT-CENTER
Factual Reporting: MOSTLY FACTUAL
Country: USA
MBFC’s Country Freedom Rating: MOSTLY FREE
Media Type: Magazine
Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic
MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITYI haven't read it in over a decade though...
FWIW, I had a subscription over a decade ago. I can't say I ever thought of it as "Left", it was at best, corporate center. But it definitely has gone more right as it has also gone more sensationalist. They partnered with Daily Beast for a while, and then were sold to IBT media, an international "news and Information" conglomerate. I think your memories are from the old hard journalism days, and they have gone back to corporate, but corporate-right.
I could have sworn previously that maggot chuds used to call it NewsWeak. Guess new ownership had different plans
Yeah I member when newsweek would find an excuse to put Jesus' face on the cover ever other week.
Isn't all corporate, right or center? This is maybe a me problem but I think of the Democrats as a center right party because of their policies regarding corporations.
You can assume a right-center bias for almost any outlet, and I think mediabiasfactcheck needs to recalibrate, if we are being honest. See their assessment of NYT, as a for instance.
Wow, yeah. I thought Newsweek was a staunchly centrist organization.
Not shilling for them but I like ground news for the bias ratings.
The ground premise is interesting and all my lefty podcasts have offer codes. I've been thinking about giving them a try
I bought into a year of the vantage plan and it's been pretty good. It actually renewed a couple of months ago. I check it every day generally.
It is disinformation. The data from the poll they are referencing was mostly completed before the assassination attempt: https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-presidential-election-polling (Archive Link)
The latest data was collected Friday through Sunday, meaning most responses were gathered before Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
I’m guessing it’s too early for polls to actually tell. It comes around the same time as the RNC, so even if his numbers go up, it may be hard to tell what is responsible
