Analysis / Bias
In review, the Manhattan Institute’s website links to research topics, publications, and projects. News items provide a snippet from an external source a member has contributed to and then a link to their site. Some sources they link to are mostly right-leaning, such as The Dispatch, City Journal, and the New York Post. Under the category of research topics, they cover Urban Policy, Education, Energy & Environment, Health Policy, Legal Reform, Pubic Sector, Economics, and more.
Editorially, the Manhattan Institute favors free-market capitalism such as this Saving Capitalism. Regarding science, they do not outright deny human-influenced climate change but disagree with government solutions: Empty Theatrics on Climate Change. Reporting on President Trump and his handling of the economy is often favorable such as this Trumped-Up Budgets.
