Left-Leaning C — Mixed Factuality

On Extra Extra, Salon is grouped with left-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 15 recent articles from Salon, published over the past 2 days. Recurring themes in its latest headlines include Trump, Maga, and Press.

The best way to use this profile is comparatively. Read Salon'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 left-leaning sources we track include CNN, NBC News, CBS News, and ABC News.
