Using Newspeak
At Newspeak, we don't just show you the news — we reveal how it's built.
Every story we analyze is scored across nine dimensions of media bias, exposing the subtle techniques that influence how you interpret the news. You'll see exactly where a story leans, why it leans, and how much it tries to shape your thinking — without telling you what to believe.
1. We Score the Bias — With Receipts
When a new article enters our system, it goes through a rigorous AI-powered scoring engine. We analyze how the story is structured, what's emphasized, and what's left out.
Each story gets a bias fingerprint made of nine detailed scores:
- Framing – How the story steers emotion
- Omission – What key facts are skipped
- Sourcing – Who gets a voice and who doesn't
- Tone – Emotional language vs. neutral reporting
- Loaded Language – Words chosen to provoke, not inform
- Placement – What's highlighted and what's buried
- Context – Whether the full picture is given
- Agenda – What narrative goal is being served
- Sensationalism – Whether the story is exaggerated or balanced
Each score comes with a clear, natural-language explanation — so you can see why a bias was detected, not just that it was.
2. You Get the Truth — and the Tricks
Newspeak gives you more than a label. We show you the specific bias patterns shaping the article — whether it's subtle spin, selective omission, or emotional tilt.
With our visual breakdowns and scores, you can:
- Understand how you're being persuaded
- Spot manipulation across sources
- Compare bias profiles between articles and outlets
This turns every reader into an analyst.
3. Rewritten Versions — When You Want Them
While our main focus is now on scoring and explaining, you'll still find rewritten versions of some stories — built from the same facts, but stripped of spin.
Want to see how the same story could be told neutrally, or from a different angle? Use the bias slider to explore:
- A neutral rewrite (as close to center as possible)
- Ideological variants (progressive or conservative framing)
- Language changes that shift tone, emphasis, and agenda
It's not about echo chambers — it's about control. You get to choose how you want to view the story.
Newspeak doesn't give you one version of the truth.
It gives you the tools to find it yourself.
