Analysis / Bias
In review, Naked Capitalism reports news and information on economics and finance. Articles and headlines contain moderately loaded language such as this More Evidence That Private Equity Kills: Estimated >20,000 Increase in Nursing Home Deaths, 160,000 Life Years Lost Due to Cuts in Care. This story contains facts and stats but does not offer hyperlinked sourcing for the original source, however, most articles are properly sourced.
Editorially, Naked Capitalism is not a fan of Former President Donald Trump, but they hold more negative feelings toward corporate-leaning Democrats such a President Joe Biden As Trump Touts His ‘Great’ COVID Drugs, the Pharma Cash Flows to Biden, Not Him. In general, they hold negative views towards Wall Street and support workers’ rights.
