Outlet track record

The Motley Fool

U.S. center-left (financial/investing media)

The Motley Fool is a privately owned personal-finance and investing media company funded mainly through paid stock-advice subscriptions and advertising, not a traditional news outlet. Its political coverage is narrow and economy-focused, with a mild left-leaning editorial tilt noted by media-bias monitors. Recent pieces on the Trump administration have skewed skeptical of its economic policy, questioning market stability, while stock-specific coverage remains largely apolitical.

Owned byPrivately held; co-founded and co-chaired by brothers David Gardner and Tom Gardner (founded 1993 with Erik Rydholm and Todd Etter), based in Alexandria, Virginia
