Anybody have an opinion of smart news that shows up on android ?

I’m kind of dubious of that news and it has a right wing slant to it. Is it me or has anybody seen it ?

Some actors pretending to be real people talking about how much they "trust Smartnews" without explaining why.

Offering opinions without justifying them reeks of the right-wing style.

My opinion here may be equally baseless.
