About NewsBreak's Bias Rating

NewsBreak is a news aggregator source with an AllSides Media Bias Rating™ of Center.

What a "Center" Rating Means

Sources with an AllSides Media Bias Rating of Center either do not show much predictable media bias, display a balance of articles with left and right biases, or equally balance left and right perspectives.

Center doesn't mean better! A Center media bias rating does not necessarily mean a source is totally unbiased, neutral, perfectly reasonable, or credible,just as Left and Right don't necessarily mean extreme, wrong, unreasonable, or not credible. AllSides encourages people to read outlets across the political spectrum.

An AllSides analysis of NewsBreak’s bias in December 2025 found the news aggregator displayed more sources with an AllSides Media Bias Rating™ on the left than the center or right. However, the overall share of sources averaged out to a Center rating, due to 19% of articles being from sources rated Right. 

Following the 2025 analysis, NewsBreak's overall AllSides Media Bias Rating moved from Lean Left (-1.28) to Center (-0.42).

Of 140 articles evaluated over a two-week period:

  • 60% of articles were from news outlets AllSides rates on the left
  • 8% from the Center
