What is Honest Headlines?

Honest Headlines is a news comparison tool that aggregates partisan media coverage, separates facts from opinions, and scores relative accuracy so readers can compare framing without reading only one side.

How do you score accuracy?

Scores estimate how checkable and specific claims appear in available headlines and summaries—numbers, attribution, dates, and quotes raise accuracy; hedges and loaded language lower it. Scores are not definitive truth verdicts.

How is composite trust calculated?

For each source or author we average four 0–100 metrics across stored articles, then compute 35% accuracy + 30% fact ratio + 20% × (100 − sensationalism) + 15% × (100 − opinion ratio), rounded to 0–100. Higher trust means more checkable, less loaded framing in available text—not a permanent verdict or guarantee of truth.

What is the Trust page?

Trust ranks sources or authors from durable article history using fact, opinion, accuracy, and sensationalism averages. Sort by Trust (source) or Trust (author) for a composite score, or by Accuracy, Facts, Opinion, or Sensationalism to rank by that metric alone.

Is the app biased toward one party?

The product is designed for side-by-side comparison. Source lean labels reflect commonly reported audience tilt, not formal party affiliation.

Where do articles come from?

Public RSS feeds from outlets across the political spectrum. Only recent items are shown so the feed stays current.

Bias tracker: source and author framing scores

See how outlets and bylines score on facts, opinions, accuracy, and sensationalism in this fetch and over a rolling year.

The bias tracker rolls up heuristic signals from RSS titles and summaries: fact ratio, opinion ratio, relative accuracy (checkability), and sensationalism. Primary scores favor a twelve-month memory when enough articles exist so one viral headline does not define an outlet forever; session values still show what this fetch looks like right now.

Select a source or author to preview matching stories from the current live feed. Lean labels reflect commonly reported audience tilt, not formal party affiliation. Scores are tools for comparison—always open original articles. Methodology is explained on the FAQs page.
