Left-Leaning C — Mixed Factuality

On Extra Extra, Truthout 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 8 recent articles from Truthout, published over the past 21 hours. Recurring themes in its latest headlines include Trump, Right, and Court.

The best way to use this profile is comparatively. Read Truthout'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.
