Source Bias Index
Each outlet gets a bias score from −10 (far left) to +10 (far right) and a reliability score from 0–100. Scores are a composite of public ratings from AdFontes Media Bias Chart, AllSides, Media Bias / Fact Check, NewsGuard, and the Annenberg / Poynter / FactCheck.org fact-checking network.
