Today we’re releasing our final chart for 2025 — the December edition of the TV/Video Media Bias Chart®. It contains 38 of the more than 830 TV/video shows our team has rated.

Our team has worked very hard this year to rate new media sources in order to provide useful data on our ever-changing media landscape. During 2025, we’ve added more than 100 TV/video shows, 100 podcasts and 200 websites to the Media Bias Chart®, for a total of 4,300 sources that are searchable on our free mobile app for Apple and Android or with a subscription on our Interactive Media Bias Chart® on the website.

But we didn’t just rate new websites, shows and podcasts; we also rated new content from sources that have been on the chart for years in order to maintain up-to-date and accurate information. In addition, we gathered preliminary data on thousands more sources for our business customers, resulting in commercial data on 13,680 sources.

Our analysts have spent thousands of hours rating all kinds of news and news-like sources in the past year. It’s time-consuming, complex and sometimes grueling work, but it’s important work, and we’re proud of it. 

We look forward to continuing to provide important media data in 2026. Watch for the next edition of our flagship Media Bias Chart® – which contains web, TV/video and podcast sources all in one image – in January! (Want to support our work? You can make an online donation here).

As always, the December TV/video chart that we’re releasing today has a mix of network and cable TV shows, local TV news programs, YouTube and Rumble shows, and documentaries. It’s impossible to put all 800 TV/video sources we’ve rated in one image (the result would be a completely unreadable chart), so we choose a selection of sources to feature each month. 

This chart contains 38 TV/video sources, and you can see a list of those 38 here. 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.

Ten shows appear in the green box of the December chart. Remember: Sources rated as minimally biased and fact-based are found within the green box. (More TV/video sources fall within the green box, and we’ll feature those on charts in the future.)

  • ABC 7 Detroit WXYZ: 7 Action News at 6PM
  • Bloomberg: Bloomberg Real Yield
  • C-SPAN Live Stream
  • CNN: The Situation Room
  • Merit Street Media: The News on Merit TV
