The Ad Fontes Media analyst team spends numerous hours every month watching TV news programs from networks like CNN, Fox News and NewsNation. But many news consumers get their information from other types of video sources, like YouTube and Rumble, so our team has rated dozens of those, as well.
In fact, our analysts have fully rated more than 580 TV/video sources (that’s over 3,100 human-rated episodes!), and these range from national programs to niche YouTube channels to local TV news broadcasts. You’ll see examples of all of these in the list of eight programs that are making their debut on the static Media Bias Chart® this month.
Of the 580 programs we’ve rated, only 65 of them are featured on May’s Static Media Bias Chart®. (A list of these 65 sources is available on our website.) It’s impossible to view all 580 sources in a single image, so we choose a selection of programs to feature on the chart each month.
These are the eight programs making their debut on the May edition of the TV/video chart:
- CNN: First of All With Victor Blackwell
- HasanAbi (YouTube)
- NBC KCRA 3 Sacramento: KCRA 3 News at 6 PM
- Newsmax: Chris Plante The Right Squad
- NewsNation: Morning in America Weekend
- PBS: Washington Week With The Atlantic
- Scripps News: On The Scene
- TBN: The Rosenberg Report
If you want to check our ratings on more TV/video sources, you can by using the Interactive Media Bias Chart on our website as well as on our free Media Bias Chart app, available for iPhone and Android. Daily search limits apply.
