Another option for those of us with the information jitters is AllSides.com. It looks at how a news story is covered via a bias lens of left, center and right from the reporting institution.
The site also has a misinformation page that looks at how a specific story as been distorted or looks at a specific claim of a politician or corporation are being promoted in the public.
Here is an explainer video created by AllSides.com
AllSides.com is a public benefit company. This means that it operated as a corporation but the focus is on serving the public good as the primary focus of the company.
There are still shareholders but the focus is to be of service AND then make a profit.
This is different from a non-profit corporation.
Allsides.com could sell cars, candy or anything else (they don't as far as I know). They don't get any special benefits and they have to follow standard corporation reporting.
A non-profit corporation must be aligned to their stated mission.
Anyway, consider this site an option.
You can use it to know what bias or filter the story is being reported. Or that help you understand what the other side is seeing in terms of coverage of a particular story.
