Outlet track record

The Hill

U.S. center, lean-left in current editorial reviews

The Hill is a Washington, D.C. political news outlet owned by Nexstar Media Group, a major local-TV broadcasting company. It was long rated as centrist, though a 2026 review shifted its rating toward lean-left; its coverage of the Trump administration mixes straight reporting on policy and legal setbacks with pieces offering multiple viewpoints, and the White House has at times singled it out in its media-bias tracking.
