The Boston Globe
Boston Globe Rated Left In 2021 Independent Review
An independent review by an AllSides reviewer concluded that the Boston Globe should be moved from a Lean Left to Left rating, due to story choice that consistently favors progressive and/or left-wing stances and a frequent lack of including dissenting voices or conservative perspectives in political news stories.

BESIDES BEING BILLIONAIRES and spending much of their fortunes to promote pet causes, the leftist financier George Soros and the right-wing Koch brothers have little in common. They could be seen as polar opposites. Soros is an old-fashioned New Deal liberal. The Koch brothers are fire-breathing right-wingers who dream of cutting taxes and dismantling government. Now they have found something to agree on: the United States must end its “forever war” and adopt an entirely new foreign policy.
In one of the most remarkable partnerships in modern American political history, Soros and Charles Koch, the more active of the two brothers, are joining to finance a new foreign-policy think tank in Washington. It will promote an approach to the world based on diplomacy and restraint rather than threats, sanctions, and bombing.
