First Things
On Extra Extra, First Things is grouped with right-leaning outlets, a placement drawn from the consensus of independent media-bias raters (AllSides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias/Fact Check) rather than our own opinion. Its reliability rating of C reflects a mixed record — it reports real events but has been flagged for selective framing or occasional unsupported claims. That rating is a guide for weighing what you read here, not a verdict on any single article.
We are currently tracking 8 recent articles from First Things, published over the past 3 days.
The best way to use this profile is comparatively. Read First Things's coverage of a story alongside how outlets on other parts of the spectrum handle the same event — the facts usually overlap, but the emphasis, language, and what gets left out often do not. Other right-leaning sources we track include Fox News, Breitbart, National Review, and NY Post.
