Outlet track record
Forbes (contributor, Teresa Ghilarducci)
U.S. center-right (business/finance focus)
Forbes is a U.S. business and finance media brand majority-owned by a Hong Kong-based investment firm, with Steve Forbes—who has personally endorsed Trump in 2016 and 2024—serving as chairman and editor-in-chief. The outlet leans center-right on economic issues but publishes a wide range of outside contributors, including left-leaning voices such as labor economist Teresa Ghilarducci. Its recent coverage of the Trump administration's second term is mixed: critical analyses of tariff costs and economic uncertainty appear alongside more neutral business reporting.
