If Winning Our Future was created to support Newt Gingrich, what would that suggest about the source?

This source is biased and was created to encourage Americans to reject Romney.

When a source is created to back a specific candidate, it’s presenting information with a clear persuasive goal rather than offering neutral, balanced coverage. If Winning Our Future was made to support Newt Gingrich, its purpose is to advocate for him and to frame his opponents unfavorably. That signals bias—the material is aimed at influencing how people think about Romney and encouraging them to reject him. An unbiased source would present information in a balanced way, which this one wouldn’t, given its stated aim. So the best interpretation is that the source is biased and intended to persuade Americans to reject Romney.
