Biasly Media Bias Chart

In current times, many people source crucial information from news agencies. Given the limitations on people’s ability to fact-check and verify sources, it becomes increasingly effortless to be misled and develop a distorted perspective when reading an article. 

There are thousands of news outlets, thousands of journalists and everyone comes from their peculiar backgrounds. That being said, everyone is unique in their own way, so there should be a difference in opinion. Differences in opinion can lead to bias and a tendency to lean towards a certain agenda. In a polarized world of media, bias has become a norm. 

At Biasly, we intend to derail the notion of merely just accepting what media outlets render to the public and give a rating on articles, news agencies, and politicians that are not biased and prove how biased the article is and in which way the article is biased, with an A.I powered market leading Bias rater, analyzing thousands of articles to identify political bias.
