Political lean
The meter considers recurring patterns in story selection, headline framing, language, sourcing, editorial positions, and the separation of news from opinion.
Media Bias Directory
See where major news organizations generally fall on the political spectrum. Bias and factual reliability are rated separately because viewpoint alone does not determine whether reporting is accurate.
Ratings describe broad editorial patterns. They do not apply to every journalist, article, program, or guest. Assessments may change when an outlet's coverage changes.

How the ratings work
Reporting reliability
The reliability label separately considers sourcing quality, corrections, transparency, original reporting, and the frequency of unsupported or materially misleading claims.
Independent comparison
Assessments may be compared with publicly available methodologies from AllSides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias/Fact Check. Civic Lens makes the final editorial classification shown here.
