What it is

The BiPartislant is a daily media literacy publication. Every morning we take the top three stories of the day and show you how CNN, MSNOW, and Fox News each cover them — what they emphasize, what they omit, and what framing they apply. Then we tell you what is actually true, as plainly as we can.

Our slant is down the middle. That is not a marketing line. It is the entire point.

Why it exists

Most Americans are not getting the news. They are getting a version of the news shaped by the outlet they trust. That is not a conspiracy — it is just how media works. Every outlet has a perspective. Every headline is a choice. The BiPartislant makes those choices visible so you can make your own.

We do not tell you what to think. We show you what you are being shown — and what you are not.
