Bias Finder Extension
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.
