The outlets featured on the AllSides Media Bias Cart™ have varying degrees of influence. The AllSides Media Bias Chart™ shows the political bias of some of the most-read sources in America. That’s why AllSides has rated the media bias of over 1,400 sources. Bias is natural, but hidden bias and fake news misleads and divides us. Our ratings help readers to understand that certain facts may be missing if they read only outlets from one side of the political spectrum.Īmericans are more polarized than ever - if you’re like us, you see it in the news and on your social media feeds every day. We know that a mixed group of experts and non-experts will provide a more accurate result, so we solicit and consider opinions of average people. Votes don't determine our ratings, but are valuable feedback that may prompt more research. Your opinion matters: we take into account hundreds of thousands of community votes on our ratings.We consider and review data and research conducted by third parties, like universities and other groups.Transparent methodology: we tell you how we arrived at the bias rating for each outlet.

We give separate bias ratings for the news and opinion sections for some media outlets, giving you a more precise understanding.

Our research spans years - we started rating media bias back in 2012.

Our methods are: Blind Bias Surveys of Americans, Editorial Reviews by a multipartisan team of panelists who look for common types of media bias, independent reviews, and third party data. We have a patent on rating bias and use multiple methodologies, not an algorithm.

Data is gathered from many people across the political spectrum - not just one biased individual or a very small, elite group.
