The Spread

One email a weekday morning, opening on the day’s widest split between left and right.

Every side of today’s stories

Each section collects the stories that outlets across the spectrum are covering right now, with the left, centre and right accounts of each set side by side.

Politics →

Elections, governments and legislation, and how coverage of them splits.

Conflict & Security →

Wars, borders and defence, where framing diverges most sharply between outlets.

Business & Economy →

Markets, trade, work and prices, and which outlets reported which numbers.

Science & Tech →

Research, platforms and regulation, and the gap between a study and its headlines.

Climate →

Emissions, energy and extreme weather, one of the widest coverage splits there is.

Media →

The press itself: ownership, press freedom and who is covering whom.

How the sides are decided. An outlet’s placement on the spectrum is a published rating from a named third party, not our opinion of it.

Stories we are still following

MediaBias News keeps a page for every subject it has covered at least six times, holding that reporting in one place so a single decision can be read against the ones before it.

About MediaBias News

MediaBias News shows how the same story was covered across the political spectrum. Every story gets one page carrying the left, centre and right accounts of it, what each side left out, and the full list of outlets that ran it, each linked to its own report. Readers who know Ground News will recognise the format; this is the free version of that idea, with no paywall, no account and no article limit. The leaning ratings are third-party work by named organisations, shown against whoever published them.

How the coverage split is worked out — where the leaning ratings come from, what the percentages are a share of, and how this compares with Ground News.

What the coverage actually looks like

One outlet is a poor way to find out what happened

Of the 32 stories where we have measured how coverage split across the spectrum, 27 had a side that barely covered it at all. The typical story was carried by 36 outlets. An outlet describing itself as unbiased is making a claim about itself; the spread is the evidence.

None of those 27 has been watched to a close yet, so each is still a count rather than a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. The sample is small and recent — 71 stories published in total, of which 32 carry a measured spread — and everything above is a share of that rather than of the press as a whole.

What is MediaBias News?

A free news site that shows how the same story was covered across the political spectrum. Each story gets one page carrying the left, centre and right accounts of it, what each side left out, and the full list of outlets that ran it, with links to the originals.

How is an outlet’s political leaning decided?

It is not our judgement. Each outlet carries a published rating from a named third-party organisation that rates news outlets for political leaning and factual reliability. The rating source is named on the methodology page, and the rating is shown against the outlet rather than against any individual story.

What do the Trust, Craft and Hype scores mean?

Trust measures how well corroborated and evidenced the original reporting is; higher is better. Craft measures the quality of the journalism — context, balance, and fact kept separate from comment; higher is better. Hype measures how far the presentation runs ahead of the substance; lower is better. All three assess the reporting, not the events themselves, and the reasoning behind each score is published beside it.

Is MediaBias News free?

Yes. There is no paywall, no registration and no article limit. Coverage comparison, source lists and blindspot reporting are the point of the site rather than a paid tier of it.

Is there a free alternative to Ground News?

This site is one. It publishes the same kind of comparison — which outlets ran a story, where each of them sits on the political spectrum, and what each side emphasised — with no subscription, no account and no article limit. Ground News is a real product with a free version of its own and paid plans above it; what those cost is theirs to set, so check their site rather than a summary of it. This one is free in full, and much smaller.

Why should I read more than one news source?

Because what an outlet leaves out does not appear in what it publishes, and an omission cannot be spotted from inside a single account. On a large share of the stories compared here, one side of the political spectrum barely covered the event at all — a reader following only that side would not have known it happened. Each story page states how many outlets ran it and how they split, so the spread can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Does MediaBias News take a side?

It publishes what each side reported and links to it, so the comparison can be checked. Where outlets disagree on a fact, the disagreement is reported rather than resolved by us. Where a story has only been covered by one part of the spectrum, that absence is reported too.
