Notes on Bias Categories:

  1. Factual Reporting: Outlets that focus on providing facts and neutral coverage, with minimal opinion or editorializing.
  2. Balanced Coverage: Media that provide news with a mix of perspectives, striving for neutrality but may have a slight lean.
  3. Opinionated: Outlets that often include strong viewpoints, either through editorials or slanted news coverage.
  4. Highly Opinionated: Media sources that heavily emphasize opinion, commentary, or specific narratives, often with limited opposing viewpoints.

Lean Explanation:

  • Right/Conservative: Tends to support conservative policies, viewpoints, and right-wing politics.
  • Center/Moderate: Provides coverage without a strong political bias, or balances views from both the left and right.
  • Left/Progressive: Tends to support progressive policies, viewpoints, and left-wing politics.
