Feb. 2024 Independent Review Returns Left Rating for The Damage Report

A Feb. 2024 independent review by an AllSides bias reviewer established a Left rating for The Damage Report.

The reviewer noted The Damage Report's content often used sensationalism, opinion presented as fact, and subjective qualifying adjectives, including: "Elon Musk BLOWS UP With Gina Carano's Disney Lawsuit Over ‘Mandalorian,’" "Tucker Carlson CAUGHT LYING Over Suspicious Putin Interview," and "Marjorie Greene's Head EXPODES After Insane Impeachment Plot Goes Sideways." The content had a clear left-wing bent, framing Republicans and figures on the right in a critical and negative light.

They noted host John Iadarola is also a host for The Young Turks, a left-wing show.
