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 MichaelMoore.com as Far Left Biased due to its overt political activism, consistently one-sided ideological framing, inflammatory rhetoric, and direct calls for political action. We also rate the site Mostly Factual because while Moore often references credible sources and verifiable data, the content is opinion-driven, selectively framed, and lacks balance, preventing a higher factual reporting designation.

Funded by / Ownership
The site is owned and operated by Michael Moore. Content is free to access, with funding generated through voluntary Substack memberships and supporter contributions. Paid members receive access to events, early previews, and Q&A sessions.
Analysis / Bias
MichaelMoore.com is an explicitly activist platform advocating progressive and left-populist causes. Articles such as URGENT: Get Out The Vote for Zohran TOMORROW — Sunday! and PROTEST EVERYWHERE — Saturday, April 19 directly instruct readers to engage in political campaigning and mass protest.
Commentary pieces like American Idiot(s) use highly charged language, historical analogies to fascism, and moral condemnation of political opponents. Visual content published on the site—including satirical artwork depicting Donald Trump in Ku Klux Klan imagery—reinforces the confrontational and propagandistic tone (See Below). The site does not attempt neutral reporting or balance and functions as a political advocacy outlet rather than a news source.
Failed Fact Checks
- No failed fact checks were identified within the last five years by IFCN-approved organizations. However, Michael Moore has received fact-check corrections prior to that period, which slightly impacts the factual score.
Overall, we rate MichaelMoore.com as Far Left Biased due to its overt political activism, consistently one-sided ideological framing, inflammatory rhetoric, and direct calls for political action. We also rate the site Mostly Factual because while Moore often references credible sources and verifiable data, the content is opinion-driven, selectively framed, and lacks balance, preventing a higher factual reporting designation.
