RIGHT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.
- Overall, we rate the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research Right Biased based on editorial and policy positions that routinely favor a conservative perspective. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to a lack of transparency with funding, use of poor sources and a failed fact check.

Analysis / Bias
In review, the Manhattan Institute’s website links to research topics, publications and projects. News items provide a snippet from an external source that a member has contributed to and then provides a link to their site. Some of the sources they link to are mostly right leaning such as The Dispatch, City journal, and the New York Post. Under the category research topics, they cover Urban Policy, Education, Energy & Environment, Health Policy, Legal Reform, Pubic Sector, Economics and more.
Editorially, the Manhattan Institute favors free market capitalism such as this Saving Capitalism. When it comes to science they do not outright deny human influenced climate change, but they do not agree with government solutions: Empty Theatrics on Climate Change. Reporting on President Trump and his handling of the economy is most often favorable such as this Trumped-Up Budgets.
