Bias Barometer: Keep Track of Biased News Sources

Bias Barometer is a free Chrome add-on developed by gregrgreiner. This handy tool allows users to determine the bias of the news articles they read and keep track of which news sources lean in which direction. With the proliferation of fake news and biased reporting, it has become increasingly important to have a tool that helps us understand the underlying biases in the news we consume.

The Bias Barometer add-on provides users with an easy-to-use interface that analyzes news articles and provides an objective assessment of their bias. It evaluates various factors, such as the language used, the sources cited, and the overall tone of the article, to determine its bias. The tool then categorizes the news source as leaning left, right, or centrist, providing users with valuable insights into the potential biases of the articles they read.

Whether you are a journalist, researcher, or simply a concerned citizen, Bias Barometer is a valuable tool for understanding the biases present in the news you consume. By keeping track of which news sources lean in which direction, you can make more informed decisions about the information you choose to believe and share.

This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
