Our Mission
To break through filter bubbles by presenting news from across the political spectrum, empowering readers to form their own informed opinions based on the full picture—not just one side of the story.
Why Clear Cut Coverage Exists
In today's media landscape, algorithms curate your news feed based on what you've clicked before. Social media reinforces your existing beliefs. Over time, you see more of what you already agree with—and less of everything else.
This isn't just frustrating; it's dangerous for democracy. When we only hear one perspective, we lose the ability to understand—let alone engage with—people who see the world differently.
Clear Cut Coverage is our answer to this problem. We aggregate headlines from liberal-leaning, conservative-leaning, and neutral news sources, presenting them side by side so you can see how the same events are framed differently depending on the source.
How It Works
Aggregate
We continuously collect headlines from 15 major news sources across the political spectrum.
Categorize
Each source is labeled based on established media bias research and methodology.
Cluster
We group headlines covering the same story so you can compare coverage directly.
Present
Headlines are displayed with clear bias indicators, letting you choose what to read.
Our Sources
We carefully selected sources that represent different points on the political spectrum while maintaining journalistic standards. Here's who we include and why:
Liberal / Left-Leaning
Neutral / Center
Conservative / Right-Leaning
How We Categorize Sources
Source categorization is based on multiple factors including editorial stance, story selection patterns, headline framing, and independent media bias assessments from organizations like AllSides, Ad Fontes Media, and academic research.
We recognize that bias exists on a spectrum and that individual articles may differ from a publication's overall lean. Our categorizations represent general editorial tendencies, not absolute labels for every piece of content.
Our Commitment to Transparency
- No hidden agenda: We don't editorialize or add commentary. We present headlines exactly as published by their sources.
- Clear labeling: Every headline shows its source and our assessed political lean. You always know what you're reading.
- Algorithmic neutrality: Headlines are sorted chronologically, not by engagement metrics that favor outrage.
- Open methodology: We're transparent about how we categorize sources and welcome feedback on our assessments.
- No tracking for profit: We don't sell your data or use invasive tracking. See our Privacy Policy for details.
