Happy flagship Media Bias Chart day! Twice a year we put out an updated version showing a combination of web, TV/Video, and podcast/audio media sources.

If you don’t see a specific news source on there it’s because we’ve rated over 4,000 of them and they don’t all fit in one image.

The bigger your platform, the more responsibility you have to ensure something is true, to the absolute best of your ability, before you publish, post, or share it.

One reason social media and political news can be so depressing is because we are problem solvers and fixers by nature, and it just shows us so many things, all at once, that we can’t fix.

To keep your sanity and even be happy, fix what you what you can fix. Affect things you can affect.
