Whats's This Website For?
The primary goal is to give users a more holistic understanding of the different viewpoints and spin that can be put on the same event or news story. To do this, we have provided tools to compare alternative news media with news normally considered more mainstream. Offering quick info on news biases, linking to fact-checking articles, and providing very different comments and opinions from people around the world.
How do you calculate bias and credibility?
Bias and credibility are not easy things to measure and will always be subject to its own level of bias. The current scores for each news outlet are compiled from: www.adfontesmedia.com
The scores on this website are nothing more than suggestive guides to give a better context for you, the user, in understanding the different viewpoints being presented. It is also important to realize that scores are based on an analysis of many articles and may not correspond to all articles for that news source.
