> A 2021 study by the Muslim Council of Britain's Centre for Media Monitoring that looked at media coverage of Muslims and Islam in 34 publications found that The Spectator had the highest percentage of articles judged "antagonistic" to Muslims, 37.3% of all articles which mentioned the religion, and the highest proportion of articles which the study judged misrepresented Muslims and/or Islam, one in four. The Spectator also had the second highest negative bias of any publication studied, with 10.9% of relevant articles "very biased" (only Christian Today with 11.3% "very biased" was worse). These are facts, not opinions. https://cfmm.org.uk/resources/publication/cfmm-report-british-medias-coverage-of-muslims-and-islam-2018-2020-launched/ https://cfmm.org.uk/resources/publication/cfmm-report-britis... It is a fact that the Spectator published an article, "The alt-right isn't all wrong" by James Delingpole in which he defended his "friend and colleague" Milo Yiannopoulos. It is a fact that Delingpole downplayed the alt-right's antisemitism and racism because (in his opinion) it was "confected and insincere". It is a fact that Delingpole cited Carl "Sargon of Akkad" Benjamin's defence of the white genocide conspiracy theory. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-alt-right-isn-t-all-wrong/ https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-alt-right-isn-t-all-...

It's subjective, and again, given the source, almost certainly biased against the Spectator's political stances.
