Overview
Find the bias of any news site you go to!
When reading the news, it can be easy to get trapped into thinking there's only one viable perspective. In reality, all different groups from across the political spectrum may perceive the same event in a completely different light. For example: Headline: Donald Trump signs an executive order that cracks down on undocumented immigrants. Left response: Donald Trump is tearing apart families. Right response: Donald Trump is enforcing US immigration law. This extension won't tell you what to believe, or what is the "correct" way to perceive an issue. However, it will help inform your own perspective so that rather than accepting the first thing you see as fact, you'll think about who is saying it. Following that line, Bias Finder is not intended to say whether a source is trustworthy or not. Just because a news site has a bias rating of left or right doesn't mean it's any less accurate than a site located in the center, or vice versa. Rather, it just tells you how the analysis is likely to be shaped by political opinions and biases. Two completely factual stories may have very different perspectives: Left headline: Donald Trump signs "Muslim Ban 2.0." Before it can go into effect, a Hawaiian judge strikes it down. Right headline: Donald Trump claims a Hawaiian judge is threatening national security by striking down his revised immigration executive order. Neither headline is strictly incorrect, but both convey a very different tone about the events. Powered by AllSides.

Very useful. The way to tell whether a bias reporting site is useful is to see how it handles known partisan outlets. Certain ones are obviously tilted. Far out sites should be reported as such. If people on the left say the extension's editors are "favoring the right" and people on the right say the opposite, you're on the right track.

I like this, its helping me form my own opinion. However I do not think it covers the board completely. There are satirical news sites, I think there should be an "S" category. I think this would aid those who read the headlines a bit more informed. Especially if they don't know its a satirical site.
