Fact check: Factually, do you pull your sources from both left wing and right wing media and if so, what percentage of each side gets the most facts correct

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided from various sources, including ^[1], ^[2], and ^[3], suggest that determining the percentage of facts correct for left-wing and right-wing media is a complex task ^[1]. While sources like AllSides ^[2] and Ad Fontes Media ^[3] provide media bias charts and ratings, they do not offer a clear percentage of facts correct for each side. Similarly, analyses from ^[1], ^[6], and ^[5] emphasize the importance of consuming a balanced news diet and provide tools for evaluating the credibility of news sources, but do not provide a direct answer to the question of which side gets the most facts correct ^[1]. Additionally, sources like ^[4], ^[7], and ^[8] list fact-checking sites and describe their non-partisan missions, but contain no statistics on the correctness rates of left- or right-leaning media ^[4]. Key findings include the lack of clear data on factual accuracy across political sides and the importance of media literacy and balanced news consumption.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some missing context includes the fact that conservatives have a higher level of distrust overall of news sources and consume a narrower range of news sources, while left-leaning audiences trust and consume a broader range of news sources ^[1]. Alternative viewpoints, such as the importance of reading multiple sources and being critical of the sources we share and engage with on social media, are also highlighted ^[5]. Furthermore, sources like ^[1] and ^[4] mention the challenges of measuring partisan bias in news sources and the need for resources like Media Bias/Fact Check to help evaluate bias. Other perspectives include the role of fact-checking organizations in promoting media literacy and the need for businesses, consumers, educators, and platforms to navigate the complex news landscape ^[3]. Some key omissions include:

• The lack of quantitative analysis or percentages comparing factual accuracy across political sides ^[4]
• The importance of considering the methodology used by fact-checking organizations, such as AllSides' approach to balancing expert and ordinary input ^[2]
• The need for ongoing evaluation and critical thinking when consuming news sources, as emphasized by sources like ^[5] and ^[8]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement assumes that it is possible to determine a clear percentage of facts correct for left-wing and right-wing media, which may be an oversimplification of the complex issue of partisan bias in news sources ^[1]. Additionally, the statement may imply a false dichotomy between left-wing and right-wing media, when in fact the landscape of news sources is more nuanced and multifaceted ^[1]. Potential beneficiaries of this framing include those who seek to promote a particular ideological agenda or to discredit opposing viewpoints. However, sources like ^[2] and ^[6] emphasize the importance of consuming a balanced news diet and evaluating credibility, which can help to mitigate the effects of bias and promote a more informed public discourse ^[2]. Ultimately, the original statement may be seen as misleading or incomplete, as it does not account for the complexity of the issue or the need for ongoing critical evaluation of news sources ^[4].
