The Huntington News Rated Lean Left in October 2026 AllSides Independent Review

In October 2026, an AllSides team member conducted an independent review of The Huntington News and assigned an initial Media Bias Rating of Lean Left.

The reviewer noted that while articles were generally fairly balanced and free of sensationalism, the most evident form of bias was story choice. Disregarding campus or locally focused offerings, which make up the majority of the publication's content, The Huntington News published primarily news stories that were of interest to liberal or progressive readers and platformed almost exclusively opinions that were critical of the Trump administration or Republicans.
