AllSides noted USA Today's top coverage had a consistent focus on social justice issues and climate change. Coverage of such topics does not denote left-wing bias - center and to a lesser extent right outlets also cover these issues - but many on the team felt that the prominent and continual priority of these topics above so many others did indicate a left leaning bias.
The team found that USA Today frequently leads its stories with left-wing viewpoints, and quotes people and organizations from the left more prominently than those from the right. Quotes from people with alternative or right-wing perspectives are either omitted entirely, or included much farther down in the article. We also noted anti-Trump bias. The team had been detecting a leftward shift in USA Today's content for some time. A team member with a Lean Left bias noted USA Today's social justice focus, pointing to a story that focused on student loan forgiveness for black Americans; they noted USA Today used the term "Capitol assault" and "Capitol riot," stating that USA Today tended to "use left-wing word choice more than right-wing word choice.
It is worth noting much of the fact-checking page is focused on viral social media posts or unfounded theories. However, left-leaning bias is visible in regards to story choice because when USA Today does fact-check politics, it tends to select issues associated with the left, such as President Biden support , immigration , and coronavirus vaccine safety.
Many believed they did not yet have sufficient data to change our rating. There was no general consensus, making the review inconclusive. AllSides vowed to do another review in a few weeks see our follow-up review results here. They also pointed to USA TODAY's debate section as evidence of balance, pointing to numerous editorials and other articles they saw as evidence of balance.
The editor who saw USA TODAY as Lean Left pointed to a proliferation of left-wing story choices, including numerous stories about racism, green energy, transgender issues, and other social justice initiatives. They noted no coverage critical of critical race theory during a time when the right was particularly concerned about this issue; they noted left-wing word choice, such as USA TODAY referring to " gender-affirming care " as opposed to language such as "hormone replacement therapy" or "gender transition procedures.
They and other reviewers noted USA TODAY does not always interview both sides, commiting bias by viewpoint placement ; for example, a story about a Texas abortion law did not interview anyone in favor of the new law, instead only interviewing four people opposed, such as spokespersons from Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. They noted "USA TODAY is more left than I thought," and pointed to a story titled, " Ilhan Omar target of violent, misogynistic comments on Madison Cawthorn post to Telegram " was "a particularly nutty choice" considering "the original tweet had comments, which were certainly awful, but less than comments on a post about a Congressional rep is not front-line national news worthy of being the second, top story on a major news site.
Lots of things online get a lot more than comments. A team member with a Center bias noted "a lot of left-leaning story choices, particularly about the systemic racism narrative," but found the body of their articles to be "pretty balanced — sometimes in a few articles they just give preference to left-leaning quotes, and sometimes they don't include right-leaning quotes at all. They noted that on inauguration day, Jan.
On Dec. In Oct. This broke precedent as the board had never in its 38 years of existence endorsed a candidate for president until then. In , the board urged voters to reject Donald Trump , but did not explicitly endorse a candidate. As of April , the majority of AllSides users who voted agreed with our bias rating of Center. As of July , the average rating of all community feedback agree and disagree was Center, but much closer to Leaning Left.
