What a "Center" Rating Means

Center doesn't mean better!

July 2021 Independent Review: Center Bias Rating
An independent review by AllSides staff in July 2021 revealed Arc Digital to have a Center bias.
Arc Digital showed little bias when it came to story choice, covering issues of interest to the left and right.
All of Arc Digital’s articles are op-eds. Some authors are very open about their bias, such as calling some progressives “Race-Baiting Propagandists.” However, Arc Digital provides enough diversity of different viewpoints across the political spectrum to have a Center bias.
