Great, lightweight extension that doesn't get in the way of anything. I love seeing the bias that's often left out of news articles, so that I can make sure I'm not being politically swayed. This is revolutionary and exactly what our media classes in school would wish we all had. I particularly like how it sources ratings from AllSides rather than being biased itself as an extension.

Great app but it's biased. Fox shows "Media Bias Fact Check: Mixed Sourcing" "All Sides: Right bias" "Media Bias Fact Check: Right Bias" MSNBC shows All Sides: Left bias Despite having the same rating as Fox.(CNN used to as well up until about 2 months ago) MSNBC should say "Media Bias Fact Check: Mixed Sourcing" Great app otherwise, will change rating when problem is remedied!
