Analysis / Bias

Hollywood Reporter primarily covers entertainment, film industry news, and film-TV reviews. They typically do not publish opinion content unless it is in the form of a review. News is reported with moderately loaded wording like this:Oscars: In the Best Picture Race, Is Netflix Still Its Own Obstacle? This story is sourced back to other Hollywood Reporter stories.

The Hollywood Reporter also has a political news section featuring original reporting and stories republished from theAssociated Press. Original reporting often uses minimal to moderately biased wording and usually relates to the entertainment, TV,  and film genres such as this:Shepard Smith Could Be Picking Between CNN and MSNBC for His Next Job.

A thorough review of political coverage indicates that more stories favor the left, such as this:Greta Thunberg Slams Davos Elites on Climate as Trump Takes Stage. Generally, the news is reported factually and with a slight left-leaning bias in story selection.
