Don’t trust Google to give you unbiased news? The Factual ranks articles based on credibility rather than popularity and adds context to search results: article ratings, political leaning, story summaries, and more. You can even filter out paywalled articles.

As a long time user and subscriber. I love the “under reported” stories a lot, and this new addition is amazing. I hadn’t been up to speed on the Disney vs Florida topic, and when there was enough chatter I searched for that and got a rich collection of articles from all sides that helped me form an informed perspective. Love it.
Looks really interesting. Will check it out. While I don't always (or maybe even rarely) agree with the other side of an issue, I do commonly want to see / read them to understand that viewpoint -- yet, I really don't want to give some of these outlets the clicks 🙂. This could help!
@brent_alvord I hear you Brent. Our ratings aim to surface well-researched, minimally opinionated, writing from across the political spectrum so you will see less extremist viewpoint and hopefully develop a more rounded understanding of issues. Look forward to any feedback you have.

The idea is brilliant, hope that realization - too. Defiantly will try! Good luck!
Been subscribed for a while and love the newsletter. Best way I've found of getting the most relevant news and also different POVs. Love this new feature.
Exited to try this out guys! I've been a paid customer for a few years of their flagship product, and I don't think there is a better way to ingest the news of the world these days. It makes sense that you could take the same algo and do this.
Love the newsletter and love this natural progression to add search! Excited to see this as an alternative to Google News

The Factual newsletter is my number one daily news feed so this is a great extension of the technology behind it! Surfacing the bias and credibility really helps when looking news critically (something I'd never thought would be so important, but here we are with the media landscape these days)
