| 2016-11-29 |  | | It's a great idea but it's poorly executed. The conservative news suggestions are horrible. Breitbart, Rush Limbaugh, Human Events and Drudge are among the least credible political sites. Suggest instead WSJ, The American Conservative, National Review, Reason, etc. There's enough conservative outlets with integrity to not have to point viewers to journalism cancer. | |
| 2012-11-18 |  | | Getting balanced information is more nuanced than this App allows. Many news sources, which many would consider unbiased, are considered to have liberal bias (and yes, the mainstream media does a pretty good job of keeping bias out of their reports). However, if you are interested in whether you are getting a balanced view of world events, and take the above into account, pretty good app. | |
| 2012-10-11 | A Google user | | I think it's getting more accurate the longer it's installed. At first it was leaning heavily right (even though I would rate such content visited at about 10%). However, it's been showing me mostly balanced for the past week or so. | |
| 2012-10-05 |  | | Not sure how you classify your data so I hope you read this. I spent 15 hours on MSNBC this week roughly, 3 hours on Huffington post, and 3 hours on Fox News and my figure is about to fall off the wire from Red???? Sorry MSNBC left or center maybe, Huff left for sure, Fox right for sure. If anything I should have more blue than anything. | |
| 2012-09-27 |  | | the way they classify sites is kind of weird. Unless something is a netroots blog, its rightwing. ABC News is rightwing, CNN is rightwing, Reuters is rightwing. None of that is remotely close to true. Unless you spend most of your time reading netroots blogs, it will show you as a conservative reader. |
