Center B — Mostly Factual

On Extra Extra, RealClearScience is grouped with center 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 RealClearScience.

The best way to use this profile is comparatively. Read RealClearScience'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 center sources we track include BBC News, Al Jazeera, Associated Press, and Reuters.
