Filter bubbles occur when people are only exposed to news, ideas, and people that confirm their existing beliefs. This is how the majority of our online technologies work, from social media to search engines.

When people only see one side, it creates a highly polarized political and social environment, fueling extremism and hatred of “The Other Side.”

Polarization is destroying us — but we can fix this.

Here’s how AllSides pops filter bubbles and gives you a broader view:

• We display the day’s top news stories from the Left, Center and Right of the political spectrum, side-by-side so you can see the full picture, spot bias and think for yourself.
• We provide AllSides Media Bias Ratings™ and an AllSides Media Bias Chart™ for hundreds of media outlets and writers, so you can easily identify different perspectives.
• Our Mismatch program and civil dialogue partnerships provide opportunities for respectful conversations with people across divides. Listen, be heard, and converse with your political “other."
• We help you understand how the Left, Right and Center think differently about various issues. Our Red Blue Dictionary reveals differences in perspectives on hot-button words, like climate change, racism and more.
• AllSides for Schools prepares students for thoughtful participation in democracy — and in life. We help students from middle school through college (and beyond) learn news literacy, civil dialogue and life skills.

AllSides is changing the way we get information, making it easy to sort through the one-sided noise and partisan mudslinging in order to see and understand different perspectives. Armed with a broader view, we can resist attempts to manipulate us in one direction or the other. Instead, we can truly decide for ourselves.

Everyone has a bias — that’s okay. If you have a pulse, you have bias. Bias is natural, but hidden bias manipulates and divides us. AllSides makes bias transparent so you can avoid being manipulated and get a broader view.
