    What news sources are left-leaning, centrist, or right-leaning?

    There is no completely clear answer to this question because there is no one exact methodology to measure and rate the partisan bias of news sources.

    Here are a couple of resources that can help:

    The Allsides Bias Ratings page allows you to filter a list of news sources by bias (left, center, right).

    AllSides uses apatented bias rating systemto classify news sources as left, center, or right leaning. Components of the rating system include crowd-sourcing, surveys, internal research, and use of third party sources such as Wikipedia and research conducted byGroseclose and Milyoat UCLA. Note that while the Groseclose & Milyo results are popular, the methodology it is not withoutcritique.

    Areport based on a 2014 surveyshows which news sources are used and considered trustworthy based on individual's political values (liberal or conservative). Note that this report measures the political leanings of the audience rather than the source itself.

    Table: Ideological Placement of Each Source's Audience

    The Blue Feed, Red Feed tool relies on data from a large study of Facebook users conducted in 2015 by Bakshy, Messing, & Adamic (U-MLibrary access). The ideological alignment of news sources on Facebook was measured based on the stated ideological affiliations of users who interacted with the content.

    Placing Some News Sources on the Political Spectrum

    Here are a few examples of major news sources and their so-called "bias" based onratings from AllSides (as of March 2017) and thereported level of trustfrom partisan audiences from the Pew Research Center survey.

    Note that much of these ratings are based on surveys of personal perceptions. Consider that these may be impacted by thehostile media effect, wherein "partisans perceive media coverage as unfairly biased against their side" (source: Perloff, R. M. (2015). A three-decade retrospective on the hostile media effect. Mass Communication and Society, 18(6), 701-729.(U-MLibrary access)).

    In the Middle

    Common Ground: Centrist News Sources

    The Wall Street Journal has a bias rating of "Center" according to AllSides. The Pew Research Center found that the Wall Street Journal is read by people of all political leanings and is theonlynews source that is more trusted than distrusted by people all across the political spectrum. There is, however, some debate but it has been accused of being biased to both the left and the right.

    The BBC News has a bias rating of "Center" from AllSides. According to Pew, BBC is more trusted than distrusted among the different ideological groups except for consistently conservative individuals who view BBC as about equally trusted as distrusted.

    USA Today has a bias rating of "Center" from AllSides. According to the Pew survey, USA Today is more trusted than distrusted among the different ideological groups except for consistently conservatives who view USA Today as more distrusted than trusted.

    Almost Center News Sources

    The following news sources are rated as "Center" by AllSides and are noted for stating an independent and unbiased agenda, as well as consistently providing balanced coverage (giving time to both sides of an issue). However, they are listed here asalmostcenter because of audience distrust from conservatives.

    Respondents to the Pew survey who are consistently liberal, mostly liberal, and mixed views, rated these sources as more trusted than distrusted. Mostly conservatives rated them as about equally trusted as distrusted; Consistently conservatives rated them as more distrusted than trusted.

    Sources on the Left and Right

    A key finding from the Pew survey is that conservatives have a higher level of distrust overall of news sources and consume a much narrower range of news sources. Liberal audiences trust and consume a broader range of news sources.

    Therefore, there are more news sources that are rated or perceived as center-left/slight left leaning (especially mainstream sources); there are fewer news sources that are center-right. This represents the popular conservative discourse that the mainstream media has a liberal bias (and potentialhostile media effect).

    Towards the Left

    These news sources are rated as "Lean Left" by Allsides. According to the Pew survey, they are more distrusted than trusted by people who are mostly conservative and consistently conservative; and are more trusted than distrusted by people who are mixed, mostly liberal, and consistently liberal.

    Far Left

    These news sources are rated as "Left" by Allsides. According to the Pew survey, they are more trusted than distrusted by people who are mostly liberal, consistently liberal; and are more distrusted than trusted by people who are mostly conservative, and consistently conservative.

    Towards the Right

    These news sources are rated as "Right" by Allsides. According to the Pew survey, they are more distrusted than trusted by people who are mostly liberal and consistently liberal; and are more trusted than distrusted by people who are mixed, mostly conservative, and consistently conservative. Note that this represents a further bias leaning than the "towards the left" sources. There are no direct parallels on the right.

    Far Right

    These news sources are rated as "Right" by Allsides. According to the Pew survey, they are more distrusted than trusted by people who are mostly liberal, consistently liberal; and are more trusted than distrusted by people who are mostly conservative, and consistently conservative.
