I hadn't heard of them before so I looked them up.

LEFT-CENTER BIAS

These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

Overall, we rate DCReport at the end of left-center bias and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing.

Detailed Report

Factual Reporting: HIGH
Country: USA
World Press Freedom Rank: USA 45/180

History

DCReport.org is a news and opinion website that covers The President and Congress. The website was created by David Cay Johnston, David Crook and Adam Leipzig in January 2017. David Cay Johnston is an American investigative journalist and author, a specialist in economics and tax issues, and winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting.

Funded by / Ownership

The website is owned by a public charity whose founder and chief volunteer is David Cay Johnston. DCReport.org is funded through donations.

Analysis / Bias

In review, The DCReport has a left-center bias in reporting choices and occasionally uses loaded words in the headlines such as this: Trump Fiddles As The World Burns … And Drowns, Dries And Dies. This website has a clear anti-Trump bias, but sources all information correctly. In whole, the majority of stories on this website favor the left, but not overtly.

A factual search reveals the DCReport has never failed a fact check.

Overall, we rate DCReport at the end of left-center bias and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing. (5/11/2017) Updated (D. Van Zandt 11/16/2018)

To OP: Thank you for introducing me to another source. Off to go read the article.
