ABC News

Left-Leaning B — Mostly Factual

On Extra Extra, ABC News is grouped with left-leaning outlets, a placement drawn from the consensus of independent media-bias raters (AllSides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias/Fact Check) rather than our own opinion. Its reliability rating of B reflects generally factual reporting, though it may frame stories to fit an editorial viewpoint. That rating is a guide for weighing what you read here, not a verdict on any single article.

We are currently tracking 15 recent articles from ABC News, published over the past 31 hours. Recurring themes in its latest headlines include Court, Dead, Kill, Charg, and Iran.

The best way to use this profile is comparatively. Read ABC News's coverage of a story alongside how outlets on other parts of the spectrum handle the same event — the facts usually overlap, but the emphasis, language, and what gets left out often do not. Other left-leaning sources we track include CNN, NBC News, CBS News, and Washington Post.
