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.

Reviewing Smerconish himself, he seems centrist, from a subjective review of the videos on the site. The other writers on the site appear to lean left, with some examples more left than others, based on what they have written. It is not clear which of these are opinion vs news - the site fails by not making that more obvious. The center rating is just for its news pieces, while more obviously opinion pieces lean left. We are tempted to rate the entire site lean left by not differentiating between what written pieces are opinion vs news.Community Feedback
