Walker jumps on racist bandwagon
PE Bias Grade :
N/A
Globe columnist Adrian Walker doesn't seem like a bad guy, but he produces very poor columns when he talks about race. Whatever objectivity-mantel he normally wears is completely thrown off. I think he is trying to channel fellow Globe columnist Rene.... Read more
Who has crossed more lines?
PE Bias Grade :
N/A
The publisher of the New York Times wrote an Op-Ed that appeared in the Wall Street Journal, my favorite daily newspaper. Even though the Times has its own well-distributed publication, it chose to submit its editorial to the Journal, perhaps as a no.... Read more
Sure, let a NATO member buy a Russian anti-aircraft system
PE Bias Grade :
N/A
This article is completely non-sensical. At first reading, I figured the guy just didn’t realize that the Russian-built S-400 missile defense system would be operating at the same time and in the same place as our brand new jet fighter, which the m.... Read more

BG: US sued for blocking asylum requests
PE Bias Grade :
A-
Good, fair article except for the very last sentence. That the vast majority of past asylum claims have been denied is a fact. The article should state that fact rather than the way they phrased it, as a possible future outcome, which is a prediction.... Read more
Who have defied a court order
PE Bias Grade :
F
"Who have defied a court order." Those six words were missing from the Boston Globe story at several key locations, in order to create the false narrative that the Trump administration is doing something illegal or immoral in regards to its law en.... Read more
The broad brush of racism
PE Bias Grade :
A
While calling everyone a racist seems to be "Plan A" for many Democrats and the media when attacking Republicans, it is hard to put that genie back in the bottle, isn’t it? Even White Democrats use the “R” word all the time, but when it is u.... Read more

Boston Globe hides breaking Warren news
PE Bias Grade :
N/A
An error of commission is making a mistake. An error of omission is leaving something out that should be in. The Boston Globe has, sometime over the last three days, committed an error of omission. It failed to publish any story or make a mention .... Read more
Trump even wants to destroy our alliances!
PE Bias Grade :
C+
Congress has invited the NATO Secretary-General to speak, which is a fine idea. But with the very public disagreement over funding between President Donald Trump and NATO allies, would today’s article try to cast the President in a bad light? What .... Read more
Where’s Richard Burr?
PE Bias Grade :
N/A
The Boston Globe has an obsession over coverage of President Trump. 99% of it is negative, but that's just an estimate. It could be 100%. The basis for much of this coverage has been the story of the Trump campaign colluding with Russia to steal t.... Read more

Trump the authoritarian
PE Bias Grade :
N/A
Here is a link to a recent opinion piece in the New York Times which charges Donald Trump with being an authoritarian leader. This means he is, or is trying to become, or wants to be, a dictator. This means he doesn't follow the rule of law and would.... Read more
The AOC-Warren-Sanders-Harris vision of our future
PE Bias Grade :

This funny little article about a Maine family that decides to totally live off the land is not bad. But after I scanned through it, the following thought occurred to me: This is how the Green New Deal (if it ever gets implemented) is going to aff.... Read more

Today’s Wall Street Journal (6/14/19) has a comprehensive article on the thinking about the federal budget deficit, and by implication the debt, and how many politicians today are not too concerned about continual deficits because inflation is low .... Read more
