Everyone is biased. AllSides Media Bias Ratings™ help you to easily identify different perspectives so you can get the full picture and think for yourself.
Top outlets appear in our chart, but we've rated over 800 sources.
Hidden bias misleads and divides us. By making the political leanings of hundreds of media sources transparent, AllSides frees people from one-sided filter bubbles so they can better understand the world — and each other.
Knowing the political bias of media outlets allows you to consume a balanced news diet and avoid manipulation and fake news.
We provide separate bias ratings for news and editorial/opinion content for a number of outlets. Unless otherwise noted, all bias ratings are based on online, written content, not broadcast, TV, or radio content. Our ratings are fluid and subject to change over time as new information is gathered and biases change. To see the ratings in action, visit our balanced newsfeed.
AllSides uses multipartisan, scientific analysis to rate bias. Our methodology is scientific, but each individual will have a subjective opinion of the bias of any given outlet. We reflect the average view of Americans, not one individual.
We use multiple methods to rate media bias, including editorial reviews, blind bias surveys, independent reviews, and third party research.
