Media Bias Ratings

AllSides Media Bias Ratings help you identify different perspectives so you can know more, understand others, and think for yourself.

We've rated the bias of nearly 600 media outlets and writers. Scroll down to see the full list of media bias ratings.

By making the political leanings of hundreds of media sources transparent, AllSides frees people from filter bubbles so we can better understand the world — and each other.

Our Media Bias Ratings are determined using multiple methods and represent the average judgment of Americans. They are based on blind surveys of people across the political spectrum, multi-partisan analysis, editorial reviews, third party data, and tens of thousands of user feedback ratings. Our scientifically-generated ratings are fluid and subject to change as new information is gathered and biases change over time.

Unless otherwise noted as editorial content, all bias ratings are based on online versions of news coverage, not TV, print, or radio content.

While there should be a difference between the media bias seen in news coverage and the bias revealed in opinion and editorial content, increasingly there is not. AllSides often provides separate media bias ratings for news and opinion/editorial content from the same source.
