Gothamist
On Extra Extra, Gothamist 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 8 recent articles from Gothamist, published over the past 2 days. Recurring themes in its latest headlines include Nypd and Queen.
The best way to use this profile is comparatively. Read Gothamist'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 ABC News.
