Why Bias Guru exists.
Most news asks for trust. We think it should ask for scrutiny.
Bias Guru is a free media-literacy tool. Paste a link to any article and you get back a quick analysis: what the piece is doing rhetorically, what it's leaving out, who benefits from the framing, and a plausible opposing case. It's not a verdict. It's a starting point for thinking.
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”— Aristotle
You can feel when an article is loaded. We tell you exactly where — fallacy by fallacy, framing by framing, omission by omission.
The antidote to bad-faith news isn't censorship or platform bans — it's better readers. Tools, not gatekeepers.
Headlines are engineered to feel right before you've thought it through. We surface the argument underneath, so you can judge it on its merits.
What we don't do
- · Tell you what to think.
- · Censor or suppress articles. We analyse them.
- · Run ads or trackers on the analysis pages.
- · Charge anyone. The tool is free.
- · Read paywalled articles.
Reasonable caveats
Bias Guru's analyses are produced by a logic-first reading engine: designed to be neutral, evidence-based, and free of political leaning. The engine doesn't have a side; it has a method — identify rhetoric, fallacies, and missing context, regardless of who's saying what.
That doesn't make it infallible. Treat the output as a sharper first read than skimming, less reliable than careful reading. It is not editorial fact-checking, legal advice, or a substitute for going back to the source and forming your own view.
Help keep it free
