(7,077 posts)3. Gravitas "promotes COVID misinformation" according to MediaBiasFactCheck
Recent articles in 2020 continue to display minimal bias, such as this Japan expands coronavirus emergency nationwide amid spike in cases; however, there is still a lack of hyperlinked sourcing, though they generally provide video as a source. However, during 2020 they promoted misinformation as it relates to Coronavirus.
Editorially, WION presents both sides; however, a review of 50+ opinion pieces reveals slightly more favor the right, with some praising PM Modi and others promoting nationalism. In general, news reporting is factual and low biased, while editorials lean slightly right.
Failed Fact Checks
new virus named hantavirus has emerged in China in March 2020 False
Portuguese nurse dies two days after getting the Pfizer Covid vaccine Misleading
Overall, we rate WION Least Biased based on reasonably balanced editorial positions and minimal use of loaded language in news reporting. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to a lack of hyperlinked sourcing in most articles and promotion of misinformation regarding Covid-19. (M. Huitsing 2/14/2018) Updated (1/09/2021)

I should have realized that most YouTube videos are essentially "clickbait".
