Analysis / Bias
More Perfect Union publishes news and opinion content with a strong focus on labor rights, economic inequality, and corporate accountability, all from a progressive perspective. The website features videos, articles, and investigative reports highlighting issues affecting the working class. For example, their Substack articles include titles like “Trump Said Immigrants Ruined This City. Here’s the Real Story,” which challenges narratives about immigrants, and “This Is How Saudi Arabia Bought Donald Trump,” examining foreign influence in U.S. politics.
The organization also produces video content, such as the series “Worker Power,” focusing on labor movements and worker rights. The language used in their reporting is often emotionally charged and aimed at advocating for progressive viewpoints, which aligns with their mission of “building power for the working class.” While their reporting is generally factual, the strong advocacy and selective story choice reflect a left-leaning bias.
