How BiasScan Works
Our Methodology
BiasScan uses a sophisticated keyword and phrase-based analysis system to detect political bias in news content. Our algorithm examines language patterns, word choice, and framing techniques that are commonly associated with left-wing, right-wing, or neutral reporting.
Left-Wing Indicators
- Terms like "social justice", "systemic racism"
- References to "income inequality"
- Progressive policy framing
- Climate change urgency
Neutral Indicators
- Fact-based reporting
- Balanced sources
- Minimal emotional language
- Clear separation of news and opinion
Right-Wing Indicators
- Terms like "woke agenda", "cancel culture"
- References to "traditional values"
- Conservative policy framing
- Skepticism of climate policies
Understanding the Results
Our analysis provides three key metrics:
Bias Score
A percentage indicating how strongly the content leans left, right, or remains neutral. Higher percentages indicate stronger bias.
Highlighted Text
Key phrases that triggered our bias detection are highlighted in the original text, color-coded by bias type.
Comparative Analysis
When comparing two sources, you can see side-by-side how their bias profiles differ.
Limitations
While our tool provides valuable insights, it's important to understand its limitations:
BiasScan analyzes language patterns but cannot determine factual accuracy. A neutral score doesn't necessarily mean the content is true, just that it's presented without obvious ideological framing.
