Control the Bias.
See the Whole Picture.

In today's digital landscape, social media and search engines are designed to optimize for engagement, often confirming our existing beliefs. This creates "filter bubbles"—separate realities where we only see facts and opinions that align with our worldview.

Parallax News brings headlines about the same event together so you can see what outlets on the left, center, and right emphasize—and decide what deserves a closer look.

How to Navigate

• Choose a range: Drag the Left and Right handles to choose which outlets appear.
• Focus on one area: Bring both handles together to view outlets from one part of the spectrum, such as Left or Center.
• Compare all sides: Move the handles to opposite ends to include the full political spectrum.

How Categories Are Assigned

Our categorization methodology is informed by the research of non-partisan media watchdogs, primarily the Ad Fontes Media Bias Chart and AllSides.

• Left / Far Left: Sources that prioritize progressive viewpoints (e.g., Democracy Now!, Jacobin, CNN, Vox, Huffington Post).
• Center: Sources that aim for neutral, fact-based reporting (e.g., Reuters, BBC, NPR, The Hill, WSJ News).
• Right / Far Right: Sources that prioritize conservative viewpoints (e.g., Fox News, NY Post, Washington Times, The Federalist, Breitbart).

How Story Matching Works

Story connections are generated automatically from headline topic overlap, publication timing, and previously identified source relationships. The comparison is designed as a discovery aid, not a claim that every connected article makes the same factual argument.

Bias labels describe a publisher's general editorial orientation. They do not determine whether a specific article is accurate, and individual reporting can differ from a publisher's usual position.

How Top News Is Ranked

Top News brings reports about the same event together and ranks them primarily by how many independent outlets are covering the story and whether coverage comes from the left, center, and right. Recent coverage receives a meaningful boost that gradually decreases, allowing an important story to remain near the top for several days without letting months-old coverage displace current news. A story receiving unusually heavy attention from several outlets on one side may also appear with a clear coverage-gap label. Repeated feeds from the same publisher count only once.

Every Top News card must have a usable article image and enough information to help readers identify the story. Images are an eligibility requirement, but they do not give one eligible story a large ranking advantage over another. Reader clicks are not used to determine political importance.

AI Use, Limitations, and Corrections

The Parallax Pulse and portions of story grouping are produced with automated AI systems using the cited source material. Automated summaries and classifications can be incomplete or mistaken. We identify AI-assisted material where it appears and retain links to the underlying publishers so readers can verify the coverage directly.

To report a mismatched story, incorrect source classification, factual issue, or removal request, email contact@parallaxnews.io. Material corrections will be reflected on the affected page as soon as practical.

The Parallax Pulse

The Parallax Pulse is a daily briefing that brings together widely covered stories and stories receiving more attention on one side of the political spectrum. It helps you see what happened, which stories different audiences are seeing, and how outlets describe them differently. The briefing is created with AI assistance and links back to the original reporting.
