In reply to the discussion: Carville fires back at Sanders for 'hack' slam: 'At least I'm not a communist' [View all]left-of-center2012
(34,195 posts)68. "a right wing site" - "owned by wingers" -- WRONG
AllSides rates The Hill bias as Center.
"The paper was founded in 1994 by Democratic power broker and New York businessman Jerry Finkelstein and Martin Tolchin, a former correspondent for The New York Times. The paper is owned by the founder's son James A. Finkelstein, who serves as its chairman."
A 'center media bias rating' means a source does not predictably show opinions favoring either end of the political spectrum conservative or liberal.
Either they don't show much bias at all, or its bias leans to the left and right equally at different times.
It may also mean the outlet does a good job of portraying both sides equally.
AllSides finds that The Hill publishes editorials that may have a strong left bias or a right bias,
therefore making for a balanced editorial page.
Another media bias rating site, Media Bias/Fact Check, rates The Hill as Least Biased.
Sources that Media Bias/Fact Check rates as Least Biased "have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes).
The reporting is factual and usually sourced."
