The news we consume has made people turn on each other. With all the bias, distortion and propaganda, it can be extremely difficult to retain your sanity and keep your composure intact while watching/reading the news. Here’s how you can do it.

What is media bias? AllSides provides over 800 Media Bias Ratings for media outlets, fact checkers, writers and more. We also created the AllSides Media Bias Chart™ and AllSides Fact Check Bias Chart™ to make the ratings easy to visualize. Here’s what it means to be biased.

The AllSides left-to-right media bias scale doesn’t tell the full story about political ideology. In fact, the words “liberal” and “conservative” don’t tell the full story. Authoritarianism versus libertarianism, localism versus globalism, traditionalism versus progressivism — bias is not just about left versus right.
