Analysis / Bias

In review, Inequality Media’s videos feature Reich discussing topics relating to inequality and power primarily in the United States, including universal basic income, the racial wealth gap, affordable housing, and gerrymandering. For example, in this recent video titled “How can anyone accept a system that enables billionaires to add $931,000,000,000 to their wealth while food lines stretch for miles, with no relief in sight?”

In general, the content on Inequality Media is left-biased, favoring a Democratic Socialist perspective on economics.
