Today we’re releasing the April edition of the Media Bias Chart® for TV/Video sources. It contains 48 of the more than 880 news and news-like TV and video shows fully rated by our team, which has now analyzed more than 5,500 videos and episodes!

A few things to note about this month’s chart:

• Two documentaries are making their debut: Amazon’s “Melania: Twenty Days to History,” which follows the life of Melania Trump during the 20 days leading up to the 2025 Presidential Inauguration, and Netflix’s Oscar-nominated “The Perfect Neighbor,” which tells the story of a neighborhood dispute that turns fatal. You’ll find the Amazon documentary near the middle of the chart and to the right. The Netflix video is near the top and a bit to the left. We rate documentaries because they are “news-like” content, and because of their depth on one topic, they can have unusual scores as compared to other types of news content. Keep in mind that a rating of a documentary is an analysis on one long piece of content, so it’s not exactly apples to apples to compare it with ratings of other shows or networks in similar areas of the chart. For example, every TV show on our chart is made up of ratings from multiple episodes.
• The NBC News TV Network also appears on the chart this month for the first time. We include ratings for entire networks (ABC, CBS, Fox News, CNN, NewsNation, etc.) on the chart in order to give viewers an overall assessment of that network. Each network rating on our chart is an average of the scores of all the shows on that network that our analysts have rated. So while we include individual TV show ratings (on this chart you can see shows from ABC, MS NOW, Fox News and others), we also include overall network scores with the reminder that not all content from a particular network is the same. The bias and reliability ratings for individual shows on the same network vary – by a lot, in some instances. You can read more about that here.
• This chart again includes the Shoe0nHead YouTube channel, which features social and political commentary by June Lapine. We’ve received online feedback about this show’s placement on the chart, and in response we rated additional content from the channel over the past couple of weeks. The result? The show’s overall placement didn’t change much. Bias ratings from the individual videos vary, with some videos representing a left bias and some a right bias. All videos received reliability scores between 18 and 30. The average of those bias and reliability scores places the show near the bottom and just to the left of center, where it’s always been on the chart. (Online commenters also asked about ratings for the HasanAbi YouTube channel, and we wrote about that last week).

Sources rated by our team as minimally biased and fact-based are found within the green box of the chart. In all, 15 shows appear in the green box of the April chart, including the NBC News TV Network and the Netflix documentary. (More TV/video sources fall within the green box, and we’ll feature those on future charts.)

We know it’s hard to see the logos of all 48 sources included on this chart; you can see a list of them here. Why these 48? We choose a selection of sources to feature each month because it’s impossible to put 800 TV/video sources in one image (the result would be a completely unreadable chart). In order to make the logos as large and readable as possible, we have magnified a portion of the chart and removed portions around the edges that contain no sources.
