LEFT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using an appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.
Overall, we rate Vanity Fair Left Biased based on editorial positions that always favor the left and are Mostly Factual in reporting, rather than High, due to a failed fact check.

They've been around since 1914, publish interesting articles about politics and popular culture. They are definitely not Trump fans.

(apparently) well thought of. I don't know who will take over from there, but it has had a good reputation for content.
