Media Bias

Ad Fontes and AllSides create well known media bias charts, displayed on this page. While they both rate bias, there are some differences in their approach. AllSides rates only online sources while Ad Fontes also includes broadcast media, and Ad Fontes rates accuracy as well as bias. Bias is not static and can change over time. Both organizations share their pervious charts so that you can examine how specific media outlets have changed over time. 

Ad Fontes rates both the bias and reliability of media content, including traditional broadcast, podcast and online news sources.
