The Hill - Least Biased - Credible - Reliable - Not Left - Not right
Factual Reporting: Mostly Factual - Mostly Credible and Reliable
LEAST BIASED
These sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes). The reporting is factual and usually sourced. These are the most credible media sources. See all Least Biased Sources.
Overall, we rate The Hill Least Biased based on balanced editorial positions and news reporting that is low-biased. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting, rather than High, due to previous opinion columns promoting unproven claims.

History
The Hill is an American political journalism newspaper and website published in Washington, D.C., since 1994. The Hill focuses on politics, policy, business, and international relations. Their coverage includes the U.S. Congress, the presidency, and election campaigns. The current editor is Bob Cusack, who has been reporting on policy and politics in the nation’s capital since 1995.
Funded by / Ownership
In 2021, The Hill was purchased by Nexstar, which owns around 200 TV stations and media outlets nationwide. The founder, chairman, president, and CEO of Nexstar is Perry A. Sook. According to Open Secrets, Nexstar Media group gave more money to Republicans in the 2018 election cycle (45% to Democrats, 55% to Republicans). However, in 2020 they gave more to Democrats (55% Democrats, 45% to Republicans). The paper and website are funded through a subscription and advertising model.
Analysis / Bias
In review, The Hill covers both sides on the political spectrum and generally sources information properly; however, they sometimes rush stories and have to change them after the fact. The Hill rarely uses loaded words in their headlines and articles such as this: Trump says he won’t sign GOP’s compromise immigration bill. All news stories are sourced from either journalists or credible media sources.
The Hill features editorial commentaries that provide a reasonably balanced group of columnists that consists of the following:
Brent Budowsky (Leans Left)
Lanny Davis (Leans Left)
John Feehery (Leans Right)
Mark Mellman (Slightly Left)
Katie Pavlich (Leans Right)
Bill Press (Leans Left)
David Webb (Leans Right)
The Hill also features other outside opinion contributors such as Newt Gingrich, among other prominent figures. The general overall tone of all op-eds is currently balanced after dominant right-leaning voice John Solomon left the paper in October 2019.
The Hill has faced criticism for the hiring of John Solomon. He is described as a strong supporter of President Trump and a conspiracy theorist, with his previous opinion columns under review for false content. Further, reports indicate that owner Jimmy Finkelstein “kept a watchful eye on the newspaper’s coverage to ensure it is not too critical of the President.”
News reporting is generally balanced and factual with a reasonably balanced Op-Ed page.
Failed Fact Checks
A factual search reveals The Hill has not failed any fact checks. However, they have rushed to publish breaking news that needed to be corrected or removed in the past. The Hill also published editorial commentary that has been labeled conspiratorial by other sources; however, this columnist is no longer with the paper.
Overall, we rate The Hill Least Biased based on balanced editorial positions and news reporting that is low-biased. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting, rather than High, due to previous opinion columns promoting unproven claims. (5/18/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 01/14/2022)

@Mott-The-Hoople
The thing is, you KNOW they are ultrarightwingnut sites and you use them purposely to do what you THINK is supporting your POV when in fact all it does is confirm your anti science, racist crap you post every day.
Your kind of posts say a LOT more about the poster than the subject being posted.
@averagejoe1 saidHahaha nice
No one above states the obvious answer to this post . He respected and feared Trump. Trump held him, Kim and Xi at bay. He was a genius at foreign politics, he whipped NATO into shape.
Putin would not make a move, because he knew Trump would thwart him. So, the real question, why does Putin invade with the Biden Administration in charge?
You have 60 seconds…….
@sonhouse saidI will tell you what I do know. Under biden the average American is struggling to survive, the world is in chaos, innocent people being slaughtered. Just how long you libs support this is the question.

He is definitely a sycophantic yes man when it comes to war and coup attempts. He was honest about one thing though.

Who was BOLTON being a yes man for?
He was being Imperialistic...vis-av-vis Venezuelan petroleum.
