Other outlets rated the same way
Publishers carrying the same published leaning as Townhall, 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.
