Philip DeFranco Rated Center in April 2025 Small Group Editorial Review

A group of three AllSides reviewers on the left, center, and right rated Philip DeFranco as Center in an April 2025 Small Group Editorial Review.

DeFranco is a media figure and host of The Philip DeFranco Show, where he covers politics and pop culture. His reporting on political news is generally fact-based with minimal subjective commentary. Reviewers noted occasional skepticism toward President Donald Trump, such as referring to his criticism of Harvard as a “war” and describing his reaction to recent “fake polls” as a “confused tirade” and a “meltdown.”

However, DeFranco covers topics that appeal to all sides of the political spectrum and largely maintains a neutral tone, offering detailed and balanced analysis that supports a Center rating.
