Editorial Standards

Left on Red holds itself to the following standards. These are the criteria by which we evaluate every piece before publication.

Factual Accuracy

Every factual claim must be verifiable. We cite primary sources — court decisions, legislative text, government data, and peer-reviewed research — wherever they exist. If we cannot verify a claim, we say so.

Intellectual Honesty

We present the strongest available version of every argument, including arguments we ultimately disagree with. We do not strawman opposing positions. If the evidence on a question is genuinely mixed, we say so.

Corrections

Errors will be corrected promptly and transparently. Corrections are noted at the top of the affected article. We do not delete errors without noting that a correction has been made.

Independence

Left on Red accepts no advertising, no political funding, and no sponsored content. Editorial decisions are made without input from funders.

Opinion vs. Reporting

We distinguish clearly between factual reporting and editorial analysis. Opinion and commentary are labeled as such.
