These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias.  They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes.  These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

• Based on factual information and a moderate left-wing political philosophy we rate Public Citizen strongly Left-Center biased, but High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information.
