The AllSides Bias RatingTM is:
Lean Left
The AllSides Bias RatingTM reflects the average judgment of the American people.
We don't use a convoluted mathematical or artificial intelligence model, but instead have regular people representing the broad spectrum of Americans blindly rate the bias of articles. That produces a fair, verifiable bias rating. Learn more here.
Unless otherwise noted, this bias rating refers only to news articles on their web site, not from opinion pieces or what is broadcasted on TV or radio. The opinion writers from the same media source may have different bias ratings, so individual writers often are rated separately.
Do you agree with this rating?
If not, you can help rate the bias of sources to make the AllSides Bias Rating engine as accurate as possible. See our Get Involved page. For more about how bias is calculated, see the Bias page.
You help make our bias detection engine smarter as time goes on. The more you participate, the more accurate our ratings, and the more sources we can rate.

Note that while most of the AllSides Community disagreed (as of 12/12/13) with the "Lean Left" rating (2 to 1 disagreed), the average of their suggested ratings was Lean Left.
