The Independent Media Bias

---

July 08, 2023 (?): The source bias seems to heavily lean left-liberal.

The news items mostly cast a negative light on conservative figures such as Donald Trump ^{[The Independent][The Independent][The Independent][The Independent]}, Ted Cruz ^{[The Independent]}, Ron DeSantis ^{[The Independent]}, and George Santos ^{[The Independent][The Independent][The Independent]}.

Often, these items are about legal troubles, accusations, or controversial acts associated with these figures.

While not uniformly negative, articles on Labour leader Keir Starmer ^{[The Independent]} and liberal democrat leader Ed Davey ^{[The Independent]} tend to focus on their strategic positioning.
