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/progressive causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.

Overall, we rate The I’ve Had It Substack Left biased based on strong progressive positions, consistent hostility toward MAGA and conservative politics, and highly loaded political rhetoric. We rate it Mostly Factual because its commentary is generally based on real events but frequently mixes factual claims with hyperbole, sweeping accusations, and unsupported political characterizations.

Analysis / Bias

The I’ve Had It Substack publishes strongly progressive political commentary characterized by profanity, ridicule, and emotionally loaded attacks on conservatives, Donald Trump, MAGA, Christian nationalism, Republican officials, and corporate Democrats.

In Nancy Mace Goes Off the Deep End, Welch describes alignment with Trump as capitulation to “evil” and characterizes Trump as an alleged rapist, protector of pedophiles, and murderous warmonger.

Similarly, Katie Miller Goes Ballistic Over ‘Nazi’ Husband Stephen Miller repeatedly compares Stephen and Katie Miller to Nazis and white nationalists. These are primarily political judgments rather than straight factual reporting.

In The Princess of Fascism Says Goodbye, Welch characterizes former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as a mouthpiece for fascism and describes the Trump administration as a “psychotic regime.” Such language demonstrates a strong editorial bias and very high emotional loading.

Welch is also critical of centrist and establishment Democrats, arguing that figures such as Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are too beholden to corporate interests. The New Yorker describes her politics as left-wing and “dark woke,” while noting that her anger extends to Democrats she considers ineffective or insufficiently progressive.

MBFC’s profile of Jennifer Welch similarly rates her Left biased and Mostly Factual.

The factual concern is not routine fabrication but the blending of fact, accusation, hyperbole, and comedy. Welch sometimes makes sweeping or poorly substantiated assertions about political opponents. For example, outside media criticism has documented unsupported allegations involving Melania Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

Therefore, while much of the commentary starts from real events, readers must distinguish factual reporting from deliberately provocative rhetoric and political opinion.

Failed Fact Checks

None to date. However, the reporting is sensational and often speculative.

Overall, we rate The I’ve Had It Substack Left biased based on strong progressive positions, consistent hostility toward MAGA and conservative politics, and highly loaded political rhetoric. We rate it Mostly Factual because its commentary is generally based on real events but frequently mixes factual claims with hyperbole, sweeping accusations, and unsupported political characterizations.
