Analysis / Bias
In review, Capital & Main is a progressive liberal publication. Capital & Main publishes news using moderately loaded words such as this: Big Pharma Bankrolled Pro-Trump Group As Trump Pushed Pharma Tax Cut. This article and all others reviewed were very well sourced to credible media outlets such as the Associated Press and the Sacramento Bee.
Editorially, Capital & Main frequently covers left-leaning issues such a Climate Change and Green Energy. They also work to expose establishment politicians who may support right-leaning issues such as this: Beto vs. Democrats: Texas Lawmaker Frequently Voted to Help Trump and GOP. The article goes on to “ay: “A rising Democratic star has voted for GOP bills that Trump critics say have aided big banks, undercut the fight against climate change, and supported the president’s anti-immigrant agenda.” Capital & Main does not have a favorable view of former President Trump, as evidenced by this artiTrump’sump’s Treasury Department Hands Banks a Windfall.
