New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker took the Senate floor last week and spoke for 25 hours about the actions taken by the Trump administration since his inauguration. His speech surpassed Sen. Strom Thurmond’s 24-hour filibuster against passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1957. The reaction to Booker's speech was varied, and our analysts analyzed five articles and two videos about it in our Topic of the Week.

The most reliable and balanced coverage from our content set came from articles published by New Jersey Spotlight News and The Conversation. Both received "middle/balanced" bias scores and reliability scores on the line between "mix of fact reporting and analysis" and "analysis."

The article from The Conversation looks at the history of filibusters in Congress and discusses what Booker was trying to achieve. The article from New Jersey Spotlight examines Booker's background and provides facts about his speech and the Senate rules impacting it.

Our analysts rated one article and one video that reflected the political view of the left. Both were considered "opinion" and received bias ratings of "hyper-partisan left." The article from NewsOne compares Booker's speech with Thurmond's "racist" one in 1957. It includes reporting from both The Hill and Politico.

The video from the Jack Cocchiarella YouTube channel features an interview with Booker and video clips showing the reaction from "propagandists" at the Fox News Channel. He calls Booker's speech a "turning point" that shows his love of country.

On the right side of the political spectrum, our analysts looked at a video from the Brandon Lehman YouTube channel and an article from National Review. In the short National Review article, the author says he doesn't understand why Booker is talking and Booker doesn't know why, either. The article was rated as "opinion" with a "strong right" bias.

In the video, the host says Booker has "lost his mind" and has "gone complete psychopath," calling his speech "embarrassing" and "useless." He plays video clips from the speech and says Democrats are making "fools of themselves" and their antics have no merit. The video earned a bias rating of "hyper-partisan right" and a reliability rating of "selective or incomplete/unfair persuasion."

Today we’re releasing the April edition of the Media Bias Chart® for websites/print. This chart features 126 of the more than 2,600 websites our team has rated. This includes national news websites like The Atlantic and Washington Post but also local news websites such as the Pahrump Valley Times and The Sacramento Bee.

Some have asked us why we bother to include local websites on the chart. Our answer is simple: Local news is the most reliable and least biased overall, according to our data.

You’ve probably heard us talk a lot lately about the “green box” on the Media Bias Chart®. Sources in the green box (top middle) of the chart are recommended by our team to provide minimally biased and reliable, fact-based information.

Slightly more than 2,000 web/print sources fall within the green box, and 1,280 of those are local sources. In fact, 95% of the local websites/newspapers we’ve rated fall within the green box. That’s quite an endorsement of the value of local news.

Remember: You can find information about national news and politics in dozens of places every day, but there’s likely only a handful of news outlets – perhaps only one – that’s reporting about what’s happening in your community and region (if you’re lucky enough not to live in a news desert).

Despite declining revenues and staff reductions, we’ve found that local news outlets are still publishing reliable and minimally biased information. They deserve your support.

Here’s a list of all websites/newspapers that fall within the green box on this April version of the Media Bias Chart®. More than 2,000 web/print sources fall within the green box; this month’s chart includes only 43 of them.

President Trump has withdrawn the nomination of Elise Stefanik to serve as ambassador to the United Nations in order for her to retain her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Trump stated that Stefanik's role in the House, which has a slim Republican majority, is important in order to enact his agenda. Our analyst team analyzed four articles and two videos about Trump's decision in our Topic of the Week.

Three articles rated by our analysts received almost identical bias and reliability scores. Articles from The Daily Signal, Straight Arrow News and the Honolulu Star Advertiser all report the facts about Trump's decision and the reasons behind it. All three were placed in the top middle of the Media Bias Chart, with a "middle/balanced" bias rating and in the "mix of fact reporting and analysis or simple fact reporting" section of reliability.

Video clips from two cable TV news shows received similar reliability ratings, on the line between "analysis" and "opinion," but earned opposite bias ratings. A clip from Fox News' Hannity program hosted by Kayleigh McEnany includes an interview with Stefanik, who confirms her commitment to Trump and vows to fight the "radical left" who oppose his agenda. Stefanik, who represents New York in the House, calls Gov. Kathy Hochul's administration "corrupt." Analysts found the clip to have a "strong right" bias.

Conversely, a video from MSNBC's All in with Chris Hayes was given a "hyper-partisan left" bias rating. In the clip, Hayes says that Trump and Republicans are "freaked the heck out" about the narrow GOP majority in the House. He and reporter Melanie Zanona speculate that Trump had underestimated how difficult it would be to get his measures passed in Congress and is now realizing that public opinion does make a difference.

The lowest-rated reporting from our content set this week came from Daily Kos. The website published an article with the headline, "HAHAHAHAHA!!!! The FEAR sets in for Donnie." The article submitted by an anonymous "community" writer refers to Trump as "orangey" and teases him for withdrawing Stefanik's nomination because he's "scared." The personal attacks and conclusions drawn by the author led analysts to rate the article with a "hyper-partisan left" bias and in the "contains misleading info" category of reliability.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week that directs staff to dismantle the Department of Education. The move brought praise from conservatives and some right-leaning media outlets and cries of concern from liberals and some left-leaning media. Our analysts evaluated four articles and two videos about this story in our Topic of the Week.

Three articles in our content set were found to be a "mix of fact reporting and analysis or simple fact reporting" with minimal bias. An article from The Guardian explains Trump's executive action and provides analysis about the history of the Department of Education, whether Trump has the authority to close the department, and what the closure could mean to students. The article received a bias rating of "middle/balanced."

An article from The Post Millennial website also received a "middle/balanced" bias rating. The brief story gives the simple facts about Trump signing the order and what he said during the signing ceremony.

The Ed Source website published an article that includes reaction from elected officials, and educational and children's non-profits. It calls the school children sitting in desks behind Trump during the signing a "prop." The article received a "skews left" bias rating from our analysts.

An article on the NJ.com website focuses on a "tweet" by Elon Musk that praises Trump's order but also contains a spelling mistake. The story includes several quotes from posts ridiculing Musk for the error. The article was placed in the "analysis or other issues" section of reliability and in the "skews left" category of bias.

The two videos analyzed by our team received the lowest ratings from our content set. The bias of each is evident in the video titles:

"BREAKING: Trump JUST ENDED Department of Education as he scores MAJOR WIN," from the DeVory Darkins YouTube channel.

"Trump wages STUNNING attack on children's education," from the Mary Trump Media YouTube channel. (Mary Trump is Donald Trump's niece, although she is not the host of this video).

The Darkins video gives some background about the department and its budget, and says "left-wing indoctrination" has led to poor rankings by U.S. children in math, history and science. He says "Washington elites and progressive hacks" are more obsessed with pushing "critical race theory, gender ideology and revisionist history" rather than reading, writing and arithmetic.

In the Mary Trump Media video, the host, Danielle Moodie, explains the background of the Department of Education and disputes the statistics about U.S. education stated by Trump when he signed the order. She says Trump could truly "make America great again" by investing in children and not bring them "back into the Dark Ages" with his actions.

Both videos were rated in the "opinion" category of reliability. Analysts gave a bias rating of "strong left" for the Mary Trump Media video and "hyper-partisan right" for the Darkins video.

Ad Fontes Media data shows that overall, TV news shows and online video platforms are not the best places to go if you’re looking for fact-based and minimally biased information. In fact, fewer than half of the more than 700 TV/video sources fully rated by our team are “recommended.”

What do we mean by “recommended”? The Media Bias Chart® is divided into different colored sections: sources in the green box (top middle) of the chart are “recommended” by our team to provide minimally biased and reliable, fact-based information. Of the more than 2,700 sources that fall within the green box of the chart, only 13% of them are TV/video sources (75% are websites/print sources and 12% are podcasts).

Our TV/video ratings include TV news shows, videos from places like YouTube and Rumble, and documentaries. There is some good TV/video content out there, but it’s not necessarily coming from the more popular cable TV news nor the video clips that show up on your social media feeds. If you like to watch the news and want fact-based and minimally biased information, you’ll have to seek it out.

The Media Bias Chart® can help. You’ll find 14 sources within the green “recommended” box on the March edition of the TV/Video chart released today. More TV/video sources fall within the green box, and we’ll feature those on charts in the future.

The 50 sources on the March chart are only a sample of the more than 710 TV/video sources that our team has rated. It’s impossible to show hundreds of logos in one image — they overlap each other, and the result is a completely unreadable chart. For that reason, we choose a sample to feature each month. In order to make the logos as large and readable as possible, we have magnified a portion of the chart and removed portions around the edges that contain no sources.

Our analyst team has now rated 15 documentaries, and two of them were added to the chart this month: Blaze TV: Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster (located on the lower right section of the chart) and What Is a Woman? (middle right on the chart). Read about how our ratings of documentaries are different than ratings of other TV/video content here.

In addition to the two new documentaries, three other items appear on the Media Bias Chart® this month for the first time:

CNN International: Quest Means Business
MSNBC: José Díaz-Balart Reports
The Zero Hour with RJ Eskow

President Trump purchased a Tesla vehicle from Elon Musk last week during a publicity event on the White House lawn. Political reaction to the event was swift, and our analysts took a closer look at reporting from across the political spectrum in our Topic of the Week.

The most balanced and fact-based coverage from among our content set came from Politico. Its article focuses on social media posts made by the president about his plans to buy a vehicle as a way to show support for Elon Musk. Analysts gave the article a "middle/balanced" bias rating and a reliability rating of "simple fact reporting."

An article from the NBC News website scored slightly lower, in the "analysis" section for reliability and "skews left" section for bias. The writer described the scene at the White House and called the event a "conspicuous favor" to Musk.

The Benny Johnson YouTube channel published a video that blames the "libs" for committing violence without consequences during Trump's previous presidential term, and the host says they're now picketing Tesla companies and vandalizing vehicles in acts of "political vengeance" against Musk. The video received a bias rating of "strong right" and a reliability rating of "opinion."

A video from the Meidas Touch YouTube channel calls the White House event a "disaster presser" and accuses "pathetic" Trump of crashing the markets and harming average Americans while he lavishly buys a car to benefit his wealthy campaign donor. Analysts gave the video a bias rating of "hyper-partisan left" and found it to be "selective or incomplete/unfair persuasion."

An article from The Patriot Brief was placed in the low end of the "selective or incomplete/unfair persuasion" category of reliability. The article accuses George Soros of helping to fund coordinated protests against Tesla, describing the five "radical groups" behind the attacks. Analysts found the article to have a "hyper-partisan right" bias.

The lowest-rated reporting from our content set came from Crooks and Liars. The article accuses Trump of "destroying the livelihoods" of Americans and describes Musk as an "illegal immigrant" who lied on his citizenship application. The article was found to contain "inaccurate/fabricated info," with a "hyper-partisan left" bias.

The Ad Fontes Media team has now rated more than 3,100 episodes from a variety of podcasts, and based on that data, it has placed only 42% of podcasts within the “recommended” section of the Media Bias Chart®. Sources in the green box (top middle) of the chart are recommended by our team to provide minimally biased and reliable, fact-based information.

Analysts assign bias and reliability ratings for each podcast episode they rate. A weighted average of those scores determines where that particular podcast is placed on the Media Bias Chart®. (Read more about how our analysts rate content on the website).

The March version of the Podcast/Audio Media Bias Chart® released today includes 50 of the more than 775 podcasts our analyst team has rated. You’ll find 11 sources within the green “recommended” box, including two that are featured on the chart for the first time.

This is only a sample of the podcasts we’ve rated. More podcasts fall within the green box, and we’ll feature those on charts in the future.

Texas Rep. Al Green, a Democrat, was censured by the U.S. House of Representatives last week for interrupting and then being removed from the House during President Trump's address to Congress. Our analysts reviewed four articles and two videos about the censure vote in our Topic of the Week.

The two videos were among the lowest-rated content scored by our team (this is not unusual). ABC's "The View" covered the story by playing clips from Trump's speech and Green's censure vote in the House, followed by a panel of co-hosts debating whether the vote was fair and if Democrats have a united voice in opposing Trump's actions. Our analysts rated the video with a "strong left" bias and considered it to be opinion.

Similarly, Fox News' "Outnumbered" also showed a clip of the censure vote, followed by a panel of people reacting to Green's and other Democrats' behavior during Trump's speech and discussing how elected Democrats in general are disrespectful of the current administration. The show also played a clip from "The View" as part of their debate. Our analysts gave the video a bias rating of "hyper-partisan right" and a reliability rating of "selective or incomplete/unfair persuasion."

What do these two videos have in common? They are typical examples of many TV programs that cover the news. The facts about the censure vote were presented in only a couple of minutes, and the rest of the time was filled with various opinions being shared by the hosts and guests. On the Media Bias Chart, we rate fact-based reporting higher for reliability. The fewer the facts in a story/video/podcast, the lower it will be rated for reliability.

Articles from Global News and Politico were full of facts, and both were placed within the green "recommended" box on the Media Bias Chart. Both articles were found to be "mix of fact reporting and analysis or simple fact reporting," with "middle/balanced" bias. An article from Common Dreams fell into the same category of reliability but was found to have a "strong left" bias.

Finally, an article from RedState received an identical bias rating as the Fox News video (hyper-partisan right) but scored a bit higher for reliability, in the "opinion" category.

For the past five+ years, analysts at Ad Fontes Media have fully rated thousands of news sources from various platforms — TV/video, podcasts and websites. One thing has become apparent: Overall, content from web/print sources is more reliable and less biased than content from other media platforms.

How do we know? We’ve analyzed tens of thousands of individual content pieces — online articles, YouTube videos, podcast and TV episodes — and the weighted average of all content from a particular source determines where that source is placed on the Media Bias Chart®. (Read more about how we rate sources here).

The chart itself is divided into different colored sections (for a complete explanation of the various sections, read this). The sources in the green box (top middle) of the chart are recommended by our team to provide minimally biased and reliable, fact-based information.

More than 2,700 fully rated sources fall within the green box; we call these our “recommended” sources. Of these recommended sources, 75% are web/print; 12% are podcasts; 13% are TV/video.

Of course, there are good and bad sources of information from every media platform. But we’ve compiled solid evidence that web/print sources should be the most trusted overall. Of the 2,600 web/print sources we’ve rated, 79% of them fall within the green box.

Today we’re releasing the March version of the Web/Print Media Bias Chart®, which includes 134 of the 2,600 websites our analyst team has rated. This chart features the websites of local, national and international news outlets (watch for our charts featuring podcast and TV/video sources later this month).

Here’s a list of all sources that fall within the green box on this chart. Remember: More than 2,000 web/print sources fall within the green box; this month’s chart includes only 48 of them.

Cases of measles have now been reported in 10 states. Many parents and health experts are expressing panic and concern while others are downplaying the outbreak or believe it's all a hoax. Our analysts examined media coverage of both sides of the issue in our Topic of the Week.

Let's start with the reporting that received the lowest scores for bias and reliability -- the website Vaccines .News. The name of the site might lead one to think that this is the best place to go for information on a measles outbreak, but don't let the name fool you.

This article is based on comments by Mike Adams, owner of Vaccines.News. Adams calls the measles outbreak a "lie" and blames the media for causing hysteria and panic. Adams accuses health officials of faking a PCR test in order to blame measles for the death of a boy in Texas. He routinely argues against vaccines and for natural remedies and alternative methods to treat and prevent illness.

Our analysts found that this article contains misleading information and gave it a bias rating of "hyper-partisan right." These scores are in line with the overall placement of Vaccines. News on the Media Bias Chart. By the way, Adams and his company, Natural News, own several other websites. Many have URLs ending with .news (Natural Health News, Pollution News, etc.) but some don't (Science Clowns, NewsTarget, New Energy Report). All 20 websites analyzed by our team have been placed in the lower portion of the Media Bias Chart.

The most fact-based and minimally biased coverage of the measles outbreak came from Louisville Public Media and Barron's. Both articles were placed in the "middle/balanced" category of bias and "mix of fact reporting and analysis" category of reliability.

Videos from the Timcast and The Logical Leftist YouTube channels were found to be opinion content rather than fact-based reporting. Timcast was given a bias rating of "strong right" and The Logical Leftist a bias rating of "strong left." An article from Jezebel also was rated with a "strong left" bias and a reliability score of "opinion."

If there's one common element in the news of the day, it's politics. Whether the top headlines are about the actions taken by DOGE, the Trump administration's negotiations with Ukraine and Russia, or the economic effects of tariffs, the reporting often crosses into political reaction and debate.

With that in mind, we're releasing our list of Top 10 Political Podcasts. These national podcasts have been rated by our analyst team to be minimally biased and fact-based. The list is limited to podcasts that focus on politics — not general news podcasts that often include topics related to politics.

Is your favorite political podcast not on the list? Search for it on the interactive Media Bias Chart on the website and see where it falls. Remember: Sources that fall within the green box (in the top middle of the chart) are recommended by our analysts.

Posts in this format are not very good sources of news or political information

01/03/2025

Kash Patel was recently voted in as the director of the FBI, and almost everyone, it seemed, had opinions about it. Our analysts rated content from across the political spectrum about Patel's appointment in our Topic of the Week.

The most balanced and factful coverage of our content set came from articles by The Independent and New Delhi Television. Both were given a bias rating of "middle/balanced" and a reliability rating of "mix of fact reporting and analysis." The article on the New Delhi Television website focuses on Patel's family roots in India while The Independent looks at his financial connection to the Chinese fashion brand Shein.

Videos from the Trish Regan and Bulwark YouTube channels were rated as "opinion" by our analysts. In her video, Regan shows clips of Sen. Adam Schiff speaking out against Patel and accuses Schiff of corruption himself. The video was given a bias rating of "hyper-partisan right."

In the Bulwark video, the hosts discuss why they think Patel's appointment will lead to a "purge" of credible employees of the agency, which could now focus its investigations on Democrats. Analysts found that the video had a "strong left" bias.

An article from Wonkette was rated slightly lower than the Bulwark video, falling into the "selective or incomplete/unfair persuasion" category of reliability with a "hyper-partisan left" bias. The article calls Patel a "weird con man" and a "laughably unqualified goon."

The lowest-rated reporting from our content set came from the Washington Times. The opinion article supports Patel's nomination to head the FBI and criticizes the agency's previous investigations, including those of Donald Trump. Our analysts found that the article "contains missing info" and has a "hyper-partisan right" bias.

Let us know what you think! Do you agree with our ratings? The articles and videos are linked on the Topic of the Week page of the website. https://adfontesmedia.com/topic-of-the-week-advanced/

Our analyst team has watched and analyzed more than 4,400 pieces of content to create the February edition of the Media Bias Chart® for TV/video. This includes TV show episodes, YouTube and Rumble videos, and documentaries.

The newest documentaries, added this month, are 2000 Mules and All In: The Fight for Democracy. You’ll find All In near the center left portion of the chart, as it was found to be analysis with a hyper-partisan left bias.

2000 Mules, which has reportedly been viewed by more than 1 million people, is on the bottom right portion of the chart, as our analysts found it to contain inaccurate information and have a hyper-partisan right bias. The film, which alleges voter fraud during the 2020 election, was in the news again somewhat recently when the producer and writer, activist Dinesh D’Souza, admitted that some of the claims in the film were false after a lawsuit was filed by one of the people depicted in the film.

You can also find two other documentaries we’ve analyzed on this month’s chart: HBO’s Stopping the Steal (top left) and Am I Racist? (center right). We’ve now rated a total of 11 documentaries about current events and politics. Read about how these ratings are different than other TV/video content on the chart here.

The Media Bias Chart® is divided into different colored sections: sources in the green box (top middle) of the chart are recommended by our team to provide minimally biased and reliable, fact-based information. You’ll find 14 sources within the green “recommended” box on the February edition of the TV/Video Media Bias Chart®, including three that are included on the chart for the first time:
