RE:RE:RE:Whether you like it or not While billing itself as a nonpartisan publication, Consumer Reports also maintains an advocacy and lobbying arm, the Consumers Union Action Fund, that advocates for left-leaning consumer policies on issues such as environmentalism, food and nutrition, and subsidizing the use of electric vehicles.
Consumer Reports is funded through sales of magazine subscriptions as well as by notable left-leaning grantmaking organizations such as the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and Craig Newmark Philanthropies.
