Is Newsweek biased?

Last updated Oct 21, 2026

Verdict: Newsweek is rated Right-Center with mostly factual reporting by Media Bias/Fact Check. In CadNews’s last 30 days it covered 35 stories; 3 of 35 (9%) were also covered by the other side. Outlets that publish mostly explainers or analysis are covered by the other side less often, so this measures overlap, not accuracy.
