How we stay fair

No one is perfectly unbiased, including us. So instead of asking you to trust us, we show our work and let anyone check it.

1. We read every side

   Each story pulls from outlets on the left, center and right. A story needs at least 3 outlets from at least 2 sides, and a Politics story needs all 3 sides, so nothing pushed by only one side makes it in. The full list of outlets is public, and each one's lean comes from a published rating (AllSides, or Ad Fontes Media when AllSides has none), never our own opinion.

2. A fact needs all sides

   Something only goes under "What everyone agrees on" when outlets from every side that covered the story report it. Anything else is shown as framing or as disputed.

3. Plain, neutral headlines

   Headlines and summaries follow fixed rules: no loaded words, no opinions, no guessing, nothing added that the outlets didn't report. The exact AI instructions are published for anyone to check.

4. We show what's missing

   When one side isn't covering a story, we say so on the page, so you can see blind spots on every side.

5. Everything is open

   Our rules and sources are public, every story keeps a dated record of when it changed, and today's data is free to download.

6. No money in the loop

   No ads, no sponsors, no paid placement. Nothing here is for sale, including our coverage.

7. When we get it wrong

   A simple way for anyone to report a mistake, with no sign-up, is coming soon. Every correction is listed on our Corrections page, and the story itself says what changed.
