The short answers
Is Federal News Network biased?
The bias data this site ingests places Federal News Network in the centre. It does not name the organisation that made that assessment, so we publish it as an unattributed rating and nothing more. An outlet rating describes a broad pattern in its output, not every article it publishes.
Is Federal News Network left or right?
The bias data this site ingests places Federal News Network in the centre. It does not name the organisation that made that assessment, so we publish it as an unattributed rating and nothing more. In the three-way grouping used on story pages, that puts it under Centre.
Is Federal News Network reliable?
The factuality data this site ingests describes Federal News Network as very high factuality. It reaches us without a named assessor, so it is an unattributed rating rather than our verdict. It does not guarantee that every report is correct.
Who says so
The lean above is carried in the coverage data this site ingests, which names no rater for it. We publish it because it is what the rest of the site groups Federal News Network on, and we will not present it as an assessment by anyone in particular until we hold one.
How reliably it reports fact
A rating of the newsroom in general, by others, and a different thing from the Trust score we publish on each story, which judges one piece of reporting.
Very high factuality
The rating above reaches us without a named assessor, and is published as that rather than as anyone’s verdict.

Other outlets rated the same way
Publishers carrying the same published leaning as Federal News Network, also publishing from United States, ordered by how often we have seen them on a story. Sharing a rating is not the same as being alike.
Every rating on this page is a named third party’s published work, republished with its author and, where one exists, a link to it. Our own coverage record is the section we measure ourselves. Neither is a judgement of any individual report: those are scored story by story, and the reasoning is on our methodology page.
