The platform provides numerous articles to instantly compare how the left, center and right cover any notable event. Stories are sorted by political bias with color-coded labels and outlets categorized accordingly. Such an approach helps users to spot imbalance or blind spots in reporting with one glance.
There are also highlights of blindspot areas, important events being reported by only one side of the political spectrum. You are notified of underreported issues based on your reading habits. Thus, you prevent one-sided consumption and do not follow any major propaganda.

Every news outlet featured on this app includes a media bias rating and ownership transparency details. You can quickly learn if a story is coming from a state-affiliated, corporate-owned or independent source, for example, Guardian. In other words, you are able to see deeper scrutiny of motive and credibility behind headlines.
