The Genuine Journal – Understand the Bias Behind the News The Genuine Journal helps you read online news with confidence and clarity. As you browse, it automatically analyzes the articles you read and provides real-time bias ratings and AI-generated explanations directly in your browser. Whether you’re scrolling through major outlets or independent blogs, The Genuine Journal highlights how balanced or slanted an article might be, helping you recognize political bias, emotional framing, and credibility cues at a glance. Why Install The Genuine Journal We live in an era of information overload. Thousands of news stories reach us every day, but it’s hard to tell which ones are balanced and which ones are misleading. The Genuine Journal helps you make sense of it all by revealing how a story is written, why it might sound persuasive, and what biases might influence it. With The Genuine Journal, you can: • See bias ratings instantly as you browse online articles • Understand why an article was rated that way, with a short AI-generated explanation of tone, framing, and factual balance • Stay private — no sign-in or personal data collection required • Build awareness of bias in real time, instead of after reading The result: you’ll spend less time guessing whether an article is trustworthy and more time understanding the story itself. How It Works • Install the extension and pin it to your Chrome toolbar. • As you browse the web, The Genuine Journal automatically detects when you’re viewing a news article. • A small badge appears in the corner of the page showing the bias rating (for example, Left, Lean Left, Center, Lean Right, or Right). • Click the badge to open a detailed analysis, including a political spectrum and explanation of the language used in the article. Use this information to form your own opinion, not one shaped by hidden bias. What Makes The Genuine Journal Different Unlike generic bias-checking tools or extensions that block content, The Genuine Journal doesn’t tell you what to think or what to read. It focuses on media transparency, not censorship. Our system uses a combination of natural language processing (NLP) and context-aware AI models to evaluate: • Source language, including emotion, adjectives, and tone • Balance between perspectives or quoted sources • Political leaning inferred from wording and framing • Overall neutrality and presentation of facts Each analysis is displayed clearly so readers can decide for themselves how much trust to place in an article. Privacy and Security We believe in transparency — both in the media and in our app. The Genuine Journal: Never collects or sells your personal data Never tracks your browsing history beyond the current article being analyzed Processes data responsibly and in compliance with Chrome’s privacy guidelines Your news consumption is private.
