Scott Adams Bias Rating Moved from Center to Lean Right Following April 2025 Small Group Editorial Review
A group of three reviewers on the left, center, and right rated Adams as Lean Right on average in April 2025; however, there was much disagrement on the panel. The Lean Left reviewer argued he is Right; the Center reviewer argued he is Center, and the Lean Left reviewer argued his is Lean Right.
The reviewer on the right noted Adams shares a lot of posts from right-wing accounts like End Wokeness and Libs of Tik Tok. The reviewer on the left said Adams' "feed is trashing Dems and boosting Trump; high emotionalism." Adams tweeted in favor of Trump's "chaos," arguing Democrats didn't have a better plan other than "certain doom."
