Yes it has a very obvious bias but is open about it.

Is it biased? Perhaps I should say nowadays, how biased?

There are two questions nowadays I think when reading/listening to a source. Three sometimes.

Is it a reputable source, and in what way/how much, is it biased?

No - it is a serious paper and does serious news. I have read a good few very interesting articles from it. The points it makes are all verifiable in Hansard etc.

I'll put this in here too

Various posters do various links.

The one this morning for example is from The New European.

But I have no idea whether it is a fake news site, or reputable.
So I have no idea whether to take a lot of notice of the article or none.

If posters could post on here which sites are fake/reputable/take with a pinch of salt etc/biased I for one would find it helpful.

The New European
I did notice that in the corner it has given Trump a hitler moustache. So is that a hint as to it's reputation?
