Read the bias, then the headline.

Political News is a non-partisan aggregator. We pull political reporting from more than 30 outlets across the political spectrum, cluster the same story as covered by different sources, and label each one with a composite bias and reliability score so readers can see how framing shifts.

How we score bias

Every outlet in our index carries two numbers:

• Bias — a value from −10 (far left) to +10 (far right), capturing the average ideological slant of an outlet's editorial output.
• Reliability — a value from 0 to 100, capturing factual accuracy, sourcing transparency, and separation of news from opinion.

The composite score blends publicly available ratings from the following organizations. None of them endorse our index; we synthesize their published values into a single normalized score per outlet:

• Ad Fontes Media — Interactive Media Bias Chart (bias + reliability coordinates)
• AllSides — Media Bias Ratings (left / center / right)
• Media Bias / Fact Check (MBFC) — bias and factual reporting
• NewsGuard — credibility and transparency criteria
• FactCheck.org, PolitiFact, Poynter / IFCN — corrections history and false-claim audits
• Annenberg Public Policy Center — research on political coverage

How we group stories

Headlines are pulled directly from each outlet's public RSS feed. We cluster items that share enough significant words in their title — so a single news event written up by ten different outlets shows up as one story with ten links, sorted from left to right. The wider the spread bar, the wider the ideological gap in how the same event is being framed.

Reading the full article

Every story links directly to the original outlet. When a paywall or regional block gets in the way, an archive.is link is provided as a fallback so the underlying reporting stays accessible.

No account, no tracking

Political News has no sign-up, no profile, no email collection, and no third-party analytics. Your quiz answers are scored entirely in your browser and never sent to a server.

Limits of any bias score

A single number can't capture the texture of a publication. A wire report from the AP is not the same as a Sunday op-ed in the same paper. Treat the index as a heuristic — useful for catching framing patterns, not a replacement for reading carefully.
