Ad Fontes - Media Bias Chart

I wanted to compare a handful of media sources but couldn't. Five or so searches and the app turns into a "sorry try again" experience.

Poor user experience. The icons and images are so tiny they can’t be read even after you click on them. Pretty disappointing

Thank you for putting this together

Search a couple times and then it does nothing.

Impossible to navigate. no instruction or guide, missing my many media outlets

Amazed how informative it is. I can see myself using this very often. Helps me to analyze accurately ESPECIALLY during an election year

An app that helps me sort through and decipher which news stories/platforms are reliable and how certain biases impacts coverage

If you’re looking for a Media Bias Chart that factors in how often a source passes or fails a Fact Checker then you need to look somewhere else. Ad Fontes Reliability rating has nothing to do with how factual the source is. CNN for instance is listed as a highly reliable source even though they have failed a lot of fact checks. WSJ is another source rated high that has failed a good amount of fact checks. Common Dreams which hasnt failed any fact checks is rated on the same level as Fox News which has failed a ton of fact checks. Matter of fact if you click to open Common Dreams sample scores, the articles they provide don’t lead you to a fact checker like Politifact, it leads you to the article itself. If you’re looking for a Media Bias Chart that uses number of passes or failed fact checkers to determine how factual a source is, go with Media Bias Fact Check. They show you exactly which articles that the source failed a fact checker.

It takes a lot of heart and trueness to do what’s right. This organization encapsulates integrity with its rigorous and methodical media bias research. Thank you Ad Fontes!

The app is hard-coded to load upside-down (bottom on the right), and ignores device orientation. Why would a developer even take the time to do something like that?
