About NewsViews.US

Same world. Different stories. Why, exactly?

Every morning and evening, NewsViews automatically analyzes how American media cover the same news differently. Not to declare who's right — but to make visible what normally stays hidden: the editorial choices that determine which part of reality you see.

What you see on NewsViews

For each major story of the day, we compare how the New York Times, Washington Post, Fox News, NPR, Bloomberg, Newsmax and others cover it. At a glance, you see:

• How large the framing differences are (polarization score 1–5)
• Which angle each outlet takes
• What some outlets mention and others don't
• Whether a coverage gap exists — a story largely ignored on one side of the spectrum

The Outlets page

The Outlets page shows a deviation index for each outlet: a number indicating how strongly that outlet diverges from others covering the same story, and in which direction. A negative number means left of the cluster's center, a positive number means right. Outlets are sorted from most left-leaning to most right-leaning — based on measured behavior, not our manual classification.

What you can do with it

Use NewsViews as a daily calibration tool. Not to form your opinion, but to understand why others see the same day so differently. It makes you a sharper news reader — whether you read the Times, Fox, or both.

Why NewsViews is better than the alternatives

Tools like AllSides or Ground News classify outlets by political leaning. That's useful, but incomplete. NewsViews goes further: we analyze each story individually and explain in plain language why the framing differs. Not "Fox News is right-wing" — but "Fox emphasizes the security threat while NPR and the Times focus on diplomatic context."

How it works

NewsViews runs fully automatically. Every morning and evening we pull RSS feeds from fourteen American news sources, cluster articles about the same story, and use AI to analyze the framing differences. No editorial team, no opinion from us — just the pattern the data reveals.
