The Marshall Project
On Extra Extra, The Marshall Project 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 A reflects a strong track record of factual, well-sourced reporting. 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 The Marshall Project, published over the past 5 days. Recurring themes in its latest headlines include Prison, Drug, and Find.
The best way to use this profile is comparatively. Read The Marshall Project'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.
