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 Radcomms as left-biased based on editorial and advocacy positions that favor a progressive perspective. We also rate them as Mostly Factual in reporting rather than High due to one-sided reporting that lacks a counterbalance.

Funded by / Ownership
RadComms operates under the fiscal sponsorship of Allied Media Projects (AMP), a Detroit-based nonprofit that supports media-based organizing for social justice. AMP provides administrative and financial infrastructure, allowing RadComms to focus on its mission without maintaining independent 501(c)(3) status. Funding sources include grants from entities like the Pop Culture Collaborative and the Gates Grand Economic Challenge, and individual donations facilitated through AMP’s sponsorship.
Analysis / Bias
RadComms exhibits a strong progressive bias, emphasizing themes such as racial justice, economic equity, and anti-imperialism. Their content often critiques established power structures and advocates for systemic change. For instance, their “Ceasefire Now” statement calls for an immediate halt to violence in conflict zones such as Gaza, reflecting their commitment to peace and justice.
While RadComms does not produce traditional news reporting, its resources and communications are designed to influence public discourse and support activist movements. Due to their political advocacy, a lack of editorial balance favors a progressive perspective.
