The Free Press (Common Sense) " Bias and Credibility
mediabiasfactcheck.com

...Overall, we rate The Free Press as Right-Center biased due to its consistent criticism of left-leaning views, especially on cultural and social issues.

We rate them Mixed for factual reporting because, while articles are generally well-sourced, the outlet often presents one-sided opinion pieces that lack counterarguments or broader contextual balance. ...

The far left in this country is Bernie Sanders, who wants everyone to have health care.

The far right is Nick Fuentes who is a white supremacist.

Sentinel can't tell the difference between these two because he's a moron.

I don't know your real name. Even if I did, I don't believe in doxing.

So you can't name anyone on the left who isn't far left.

Thanks for confirming your implicit bias.

Nice dodge, sentinel. You're useless as ever.
