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 appealing 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 Let’s Address This with Qasim Rashid as left-biased due to its explicit activist orientation, strong ideological framing, and consistent advocacy for progressive policy positions. We also rate it Mostly Factual, as the site frequently relies on verifiable data, legal documents, and mainstream reporting, though heavy opinionated language, selective sourcing, and lack of opposing perspectives reduce balance and neutrality.

History
Let’s Address This with Qasim Rashid is a human-rights advocacy and political commentary project published on the personal website of Qasim Rashid. According to the site’s About page, the project was launched to address declining trust in legacy media by offering accessible analysis of civil liberties, immigration enforcement, U.S. foreign policy, and social justice issues. The platform explicitly frames itself as an advocacy-driven human rights initiative rather than a neutral news organization and states that all content is available without a paywall.

Analysis / Bias
Let’s Address This functions as an activist opinion platform consistently aligned with progressive and left-wing political positions. Coverage strongly emphasizes systemic racism, human rights abuses, corporate influence in politics, and U.S. militarism, often employing emotionally charged language. For example, in the article “Did Your Democratic Member of Congress Praise ICE Fascists?”, Rashid characterizes Immigration and Customs Enforcement as a fascist institution, calls for its abolition, and urges voters to remove Democratic lawmakers who support ICE, citing death statistics attributed to The Guardian and civil liberties organizations. While the article cites identifiable data sources, it offers no substantive defense of ICE policies or alternative interpretations, resulting in a highly one-sided framing.
Similarly, “Mayor Mamdani Proves Progress Does Not Need To Be Slow” strongly endorses democratic socialist governance by praising New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s universal childcare initiative. The piece frames critics as corporate-aligned cynics and treats policy success as a repudiation of capitalism-oriented governance, offering little engagement with fiscal or administrative counterarguments.
In foreign policy coverage, “Trump’s Illegal Act of War in Venezuela” argues that U.S. military action constitutes an illegal act of war and an impeachable offense. The article cites the United Nations Charter, constitutional law, and statements from U.S. lawmakers to support its claims, but does not meaningfully engage with opposing legal interpretations or national security rationales. Across the site, sourcing is generally identifiable and rooted in legal texts, government data, and mainstream reporting, yet selection bias and moral framing consistently reinforce a progressive worldview.
