Tracked News Sources

Extra Extra aggregates articles from 54 news sources across the political spectrum. Sources are selected to represent a wide range of editorial perspectives, from established legacy outlets to newer digital-first publications.

Our goal is balanced representation: we track a roughly equal number of left-leaning and right-leaning sources, along with center and independent outlets, so readers can compare how different publications cover the same stories.

Credibility Rating Scale

Credibility ratings reflect each source's overall factual reliability, derived from assessments by Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC). Ratings range from A (highest) to D (lowest).

A
High Factuality
Consistently accurate reporting with strong sourcing
B
Mostly Factual
Generally accurate with occasional lapses
C
Mixed Factuality
May include misleading framing or unverified claims
D
Low Factuality
Frequent inaccuracies, poor sourcing, or propaganda

How We Rate News Source Bias

Political bias categorizations on Extra Extra are informed by three independent rating organizations:

  • AllSides — Uses blind surveys, editorial reviews, and community feedback to rate media bias on a Left-to-Right scale.
  • Ad Fontes Media — Analysts across the political spectrum rate individual articles for reliability and bias, producing the Media Bias Chart.
  • Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) — Evaluates sources on biased wording, factual accuracy, sourcing quality, and story selection.

We synthesize these ratings into three broad categories (Left-Leaning, Center/Independent, and Right-Leaning) for readability. No bias rating system is perfect, and individual articles from any source may vary in their perspective. We encourage readers to consult multiple sources and form their own assessments.
