The American Spectator
On Extra Extra, The American Spectator is grouped with right-leaning outlets, a placement drawn from the consensus of independent media-bias raters (AllSides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias/Fact Check) rather than our own opinion. Its reliability rating of C reflects a mixed record — it reports real events but has been flagged for selective framing or occasional unsupported claims. That rating is a guide for weighing what you read here, not a verdict on any single article.
We are currently tracking 8 recent articles from The American Spectator, published over the past 24 hours. Recurring themes in its latest headlines include America.
The best way to use this profile is comparatively. Read The American Spectator's coverage of a story alongside how outlets on other parts of the spectrum handle the same event — the facts usually overlap, but the emphasis, language, and what gets left out often do not. Other right-leaning sources we track include Fox News, Breitbart, National Review, and NY Post.
