Analysis / Bias

The EgbertoWillies.com website features links to his podcasts, books, and news stories he writes for other publications mentioned above. The website also features commentary from Mr. Willies, such as this from a progressive perspective on Cory Booker: Cory Booker quits presidential race. Neoliberalism can destroy otherwise great candidates.

Editorially, all stories favor the progressive left and often criticize the establishment Democrats, such as this going after Biden to make deals with Obama strategist: Why McConnell loves Joe Biden, the filibuster, and the Trump Republican. While some may agree or disagree with this, it is an opinion that is left of the left-center. While this website is strongly left-biased, there is no evidence of false information, and hence they earn a High factual rating.
