Full Transparency: AllSides’ Relationships with Media Outlets and What That Means

We believe in full transparency here at AllSides. Here is a rundown of the relationships AllSides has with different media outlets and organizations, and how that impacts or does not impact what we provide to our customers.

How AllSides Handles Media Bias in Fact Checking

Fact checking is a critical part of today’s media landscape. But just because something is called a fact check obviously doesn’t mean it’s balanced, fair or even really a fact check at all. AllSides curates fact check articles daily as part of our balanced newsfeed. Our readers appreciate this, and our Facts and Fact Checking section is full of insightful fact-checking from across the political spectrum.
