Outlet track record

Deseret News

U.S. center-right

Deseret News is owned by the LDS Church's for-profit holding company, Deseret Management Corporation, and operates as a mainstream regional and national digital news outlet rather than a religious bulletin. Media bias trackers place it as center-right to lean-right, reflecting a values-oriented focus on faith, family, and traditional institutions. Its coverage of the Trump administration has been mixed — generally respectful in tone and open to conservative framing, but not uniformly favorable, with straight-news reporting and some opinion pieces critical of specific policies or conduct.
