Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) rates ThisDay Live as right-center biased, noting its editorial positions often align with the center-right government and show favor towards President Bola Tinubu.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) documented 91 journalists targeted in Nigeria between May 2023 and May 2026. The provided headline sample includes a mix of political, business, and social
