Overview

See the political lean and connections of the journalist writing the article you're reading

Bias shows you the political lean of the journalist writing the article you're reading. When you visit a news article on a supported NZ news site, Bias detects the journalist's byline and displays a card showing: Their coverage distribution across the political spectrum (Left to Right), scored across hundreds of past articles Documented personal and professional connections to political figures, with public sources for every claim Key biographical facts relevant to their reporting Every score is based on AI analysis of the journalist's full body of work — not a single article. Scores are calibrated against human judgment and updated daily. Supported sites: NZ Herald, Stuff, RNZ, 1News, Newsroom, The Spinoff, Interest.co.nz, Newstalk ZB Privacy: Bias collects zero user data. No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry. Fully open source.
