LEFT BIAS
These media sources are moderately 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 using appeal 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 People Power United (Newsletter) as Far-Left Biased based on explicit activist framing, highly adversarial rhetoric toward conservatives, and advocacy-driven content.

Funded by / Ownership
The publication operates on a typical Substack subscription model with free and paid tiers. It emphasizes being “people-powered” and not funded by corporations. While InfluenceWatch characterizes the broader organization as left-of-center activism, the newsletter’s language and policy positions demonstrate stronger ideological alignment than typical center-left advocacy.
Analysis / Bias
People Power United openly identifies as an activist organization. Its rhetoric is strongly ideological and adversarial toward Donald Trump, Republicans, and conservative policies.
For example, in Tax the Rich, Save Democracy: Why We Need a Billionaires’ Income Tax Now, the publication frames wealth concentration as “plutocracy” and calls for urgent legislative action, presenting policy arguments without countervailing perspectives.
In Marco Rubio Is Full of Crap, the tone is overtly confrontational, describing political opponents in highly charged language and equating certain actions with “fascism.”
Similarly, The Courage of Ordinary People Stops Fascism frames contemporary U.S. politics through a historical fascism lens and calls for organized resistance.
The site’s Calls to Action page further confirms its advocacy focus, promoting organized protest, legislative lobbying, and coalition activism.
Failed Fact Checks
- None in the Last 5 years. However, the publication primarily produces opinion-driven advocacy rather than traditional fact-check journalism, limiting opportunities for formal fact-check tracking.
Overall, we rate People Power United (Newsletter) as Far-Left Biased based on explicit activist framing, highly adversarial rhetoric toward conservatives, and advocacy-driven content. We rate its Factual Reporting as Mostly Factual due to the absence of documented failed fact checks in the provided materials, though its content is overwhelmingly opinion and activism rather than balanced reporting.
