Scripps News
U.S. center (news-wire style; some raters see a slight left tilt)
Scripps News is the national news network of E.W. Scripps, a publicly traded, family-controlled U.S. broadcaster. Independent raters generally place it at the center, with Media Bias/Fact Check seeing a slight left lean. Its coverage of the second Trump administration is largely straight, wire-style reporting. I found no specific recent analysis showing a clear tilt for or against the administration.
Owned byThe E.W. Scripps Company, a publicly traded U.S. media company (Nasdaq: SSP). The Scripps family controls it through voting shares. Sinclair, Inc. is its largest outside shareholder, holding about 9.9% of Class A stock. Scripps' board rejected Sinclair's unsolicited takeover proposal in November 2025.
