The official website of the Cato Institute provides information and analysis on a wide range of political issues, usually from a libertarian viewpoint. Traditionally, the non-partisan think tank performs public policy research and sells publications to any interested party regardless of size or political affiliation. They have "enemies" in every major United States political party because of their many differing viewpoints, which suggests that they are not biased and can write about any issue objectively. Additionally, the organization takes full use of internet communication technologies by publishing free daily articles and promoting them on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
