How it’s rated
- Each newsroom’s lean is AllSides’s rating of its news coverage (checked November 2026), not ours. Newsrooms AllSides hasn’t rated are left out of the count.
- Left counts Left and Lean left; right counts Lean right and Right. Centre outlets don’t make or break a blindspot.
- Mostly one side: both sides have the story, but one side has three or more newsrooms on it and at least 65% of the left and right newsrooms between them.
- A blindspot can close at any time: often the other side is just slower. Who covered a story says nothing about whether it’s true.
