AllSides is an American company that presents viewers with multiple versions of similar news stories from different perspectives to show readers news outside their filter bubble.

AllSides portrays the day’s top news stories from the Left, Center and Right of the political spectrum side-by-side so you can view the whole picture. Each article is reviewed and labeled left, left leaning, center, right leaning or right.
Knowing the political bias of media outlets allows you to consume a balanced news diet and avoid manipulation and fake news. Media Bias Ratings are provided for over 800 media outlets and writers, so you can easily identify different perspectives. https://www.allsides.com/media-bias This empowers you to understand the role media bias plays in the news and information you consume. The AllSides Media Bias Ratings™ and AllSides Media Bias Chart™ help make news bias transparent, allowing you to identify different perspectives and political leanings so you can get the full picture and think for yourself.
Filter bubbles occur when people are only exposed to news, ideas, and people that confirm their existing beliefs. This is how the majority of our online technologies work, from social media to search engines. When people see only one side, it creates a highly polarized political and social environment, fueling extremism and hatred of “The Other Side.”
AllSides fights filter bubbles and polarization by helping you to gain a broader view. They believe diversity in thought and relationships heals divides. Less polarization allows us to appreciate others and engage in productive problem solving — and ultimately, heal our democracy. There’s no such thing as unbiased news. But hidden media bias misleads, manipulates and divides us.
Allsides aims to provide diverse perspectives and a balanced take on news and does not produce its own news coverage.
