Both Sides Brief was built on a simple premise: readers deserve to see how every major story is being covered across the political spectrum — in one place, without having to search for it themselves.
Every story includes coverage from a left-leaning source, a center source, and a right-leaning source. Our original Coverage Split™ shows you at a glance how balanced coverage of each specific story was on that specific day. We also flag Blind Spots — stories one side largely ignored.
We reference outlet bias ratings from AllSides.com and MediaBiasFactCheck.com — independent third-party evaluators. We did not decide which outlets lean left or right. The independent researchers did. Our Coverage Split™ measures individual story coverage — not outlet bias ratings.
We never use loaded words like "slammed," "blasted," "bombshell," "stunning," "radical," or "extreme." We state facts. We attribute claims to named sources. We flag when something is alleged vs. confirmed.
