In addition to our Left, Lean Left, Center, Lean Right, and Right media bias ratings, outlets rated on AllSides are now assigned a number on a scale from left to right.
, panelists on the left, center, and right review news reports and hear from other panelists on an outlet’s bias. Taking into account all perspectives, panelists individually assign a number, between -6.0 and +6.0, that they believe best represents the bias of the media outlet. The number 0 represents the exact Center, -6.0 represents bias farthest to the left, and +6.0 represents bias farthest to the right.
These numerical ratings are then transcribed into a weighted average. The weighted average is determined by taking the individual ratings by reviewers, grouping them into three bias categories , averaging results by bias, and then taking the average of the three bias groups., which is another AllSides media bias rating method, bias meter ratings are arrived at somewhat differently.
AllSides independently analyzes the responses from each bias group, then calculates an average using an 11-point numeric scale for each bias category. We then calculate an overall arithmetic average, taking an average of responses from all bias groups together, to create an overall weighted average number. This number represents the Blind Bias Survey result., or the middle 50% of responses. The larger the interquartile range, the more spread out the responses were, on average.
The weighted average is converted from an 11-point numeric scale to a 19-point numeric scale. The 19-point numeric scale for reporting ranges is from -9 to +9, with 0 in the middle. The purpose of using both positive and negative integers is to allow readers to clearly identify which outlet’s rating came out as left of center and right of center .
You’ll notice that for Blind Bias Surveys, AllSides’ numeric scale runs from -9 to +9, which is different from the AllSides Media Bias Meter™ scale of -6 to +6. This is due to the nature of the Blind Bias Survey methodology, in which an outlet could hypothetically land further left than -6 or further right than +6.
