Defense.info media bias and reliability
Defense.info is held by the ratings provider we draw on, and no rater has placed it on the political spectrum. We have seen it on 2 published stories of ours.
The short answers
Is Defense.info biased?
Defense.info is held by the ratings provider we draw on, and no rater has placed it on the political spectrum. An outlet rating describes a broad pattern in its output, not every article it publishes.
Is Defense.info left or right?
Defense.info is held by the ratings provider we draw on, and no rater has placed it on the political spectrum.
Is Defense.info reliable?
We do not hold a factual-reliability assessment for Defense.info. A political-leaning label would not answer that question on its own, so we do not infer reliability from left, centre or right.
What Defense.info has been covering
Our account of each story, written from every outlet that ran it, with Defense.info’s own report linked underneath.
A Congressional Research Service report indicates that 81 US military aircraft have been damaged or destroyed since the United States and Israel began strikes against Iran on February 28. The total estimated value of these losses is $3.3 billion, with the Department of Defense spending approximately $38 billion on the conflict.

The United States, Denmark and Greenland plan to sign a security pact at the UN General Assembly next week. President Donald Trump says the deal gives the US permanent control over security matters, while other outlets report no sovereign US control. A joint working group will discuss future cooperation.

What we have seen ourselves
Counted across the stories this site has published, which is the only denominator a reader can check: every one of them has a page, and every page lists the reports it was written from.

2 of those reports were paywalled or blocked to us. Our reading of this outlet is built on the 0 we could open, not on everything it published.
A blindspot is measured against one side of the spectrum. Defense.info has not been placed on the spectrum, so there is no side to count against and we publish no figure here.
Across the 2 stories of ours where at least three of the reports we listed carried a time, another outlet was always ahead of Defense.info: its report arrived a median of 3 days after the earliest one we logged.
Measured 10 October 2026. Last seen in a coverage list 9 October 2026. Ratings pulled 19 September 2026.
Think this page is wrong?
The leanings above are published by AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check, and we republish them rather than make them. If you think one is misapplied, the strongest place to say so is with the organisation that made it, and every verdict here links to their page.
What we are responsible for is everything else: the ownership chain, where Defense.info publishes from, which of our stories we have listed it on, and whether we have the right publisher at all. Tell us what is wrong and an editor reads it.
Report something wrong on this page
Anything we correct is written up in the public corrections log. We do not publish reader votes as a rating, because an unattributed rating is the thing this site exists to argue against.
Every rating on this page is a named third party’s published work, republished with its author and, where one exists, a link to it. Our own coverage record is the section we measure ourselves. Neither is a judgement of any individual report: those are scored story by story, and the reasoning is on our methodology page.
