LEFT BIAS
These media sources are moderate to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using an appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.
- Overall, we rate Heather Delaney Reese Left Biased based on strongly critical coverage of conservative politics and the Trump administration combined with emotionally charged editorial language. While there is no record of failed fact checks, the publication frequently presents claims without sourcing or verification. Therefore, we rate the site Mostly Factual for reporting due to limited sourcing and strong ideological framing.

Analysis / Bias
This website is an independent political commentary newsletter that primarily publishes left-leaning opinion-driven analysis.
For example, the article Trump spent today pretending he isn’t losing uses strongly critical language toward Donald Trump and describes a White House event as “a staged event” meant to enhance the president’s image.
Another article, Trump’s leaked plan to steal the 2026 midterm elections, claims a “seventeen-page draft executive order” designed to give the federal government control over elections but provides little external sourcing or documentation to verify the claim.
Similarly, the article Trump’s lie filled State of the Union was a national embarrassment describes the speech as a “campaign rally built entirely on lies,” illustrating the publication’s frequent use of emotionally charged language. Articles generally lack hyperlinks to credible external sources, limiting verifiability. Overall, the content demonstrates a clear left-leaning editorial stance with strong anti-Trump framing.
