Yes there is a website that helps you decipher media bias.
I’ll tell you about it.
Hi, everyone John Daly here with a little informed not inflamed.
So a site I am recommending a site. It is called media bias fact check.com
You should check it out.
If you come across an outlandish story online, before you re-post it go to media bias fact check.com.
All you do is go to search, type in the publication or news organization’s name -- and hit return.
It will tell you evaluate them on two main criteria. The first is the bias. The second is their reporting believability.
So under bias you will find out these five things -- if they are left biased, left center bias, least biased, right center bias, or right bias.
Under reporting you will get these five:
Very high reporting, high, mixed, low, or very low reporting. Very low would mean they are not reliable at all with information.
You should check out the tab that says methodology so you will see how they rate these news and content organizations.
I would also punch in some of the organizations you trust.
Will they have every organization?
No. If I cannot find the organization, I do not repost its story. It could mean it is from a bot.
Sometimes I will re-post a story but I will also include a link to media bias fact check that explains what the organization’s bias is. It gives the reader a guide post. And someone may have never heard of the organization or site.
Again, I try to post a wide variety of perspectives on new stories. It doesn’t mean I agree or disagree with them. It just means that there are different points of view.
