Honest Headlines: compare left and right news
Compare left and right news coverage — facts vs opinions, accuracy scores, and quote integrity
Honest Headlines aggregates live news from left- and right-leaning sources, clusters the same stories, separates facts from opinions, scores factual accuracy and sensationalism, and compares quotes side by side so you can see framing differences clearly.
This live dashboard is the main working surface of Honest Headlines. It pulls public RSS headlines from right-leaning and left-leaning outlets, keeps only stories from roughly the last twenty-four hours, and lays them out so you can scan framing differences without opening a dozen tabs. Each card shows the source, optional byline, publish time, and session scores for fact language, opinion language, checkable accuracy, and sensationalism—signals derived from the same heuristic pipeline used across the site.
Side-by-side comparison matters because the same public event often travels through partisan ecosystems with different emphasis. One outlet may lead with a quote, another with a policy consequence, and a third with conflict or motive. Over a news cycle those choices shape what feels urgent or settled. Honest Headlines does not pick a winner. It surfaces structure: how much of the wording looks checkable versus evaluative, how loaded the presentation is, and how outlets cluster around overlapping topics when both sides cover the same story.
Use the lean filter to show all stories, right-leaning only, or left-leaning only. Sort by recent publish time or by accuracy, sensationalism, fact ratio, or opinion ratio—similar controls to the bias tracker. Minimum score floors let you keep only cards that clear a threshold, for example higher fact language or lower sensationalism. Open any card’s fact/opinion analysis for a deeper claim breakdown, or jump to overlapping topics for coverage previews and quote comparison when both sides report the same event. Methodology and common questions live on the FAQs page.
Scores estimate checkability and framing from titles and summaries, not absolute truth. Lean labels reflect commonly reported audience tilt, not formal party membership. Always read the original article before drawing firm conclusions. Refresh the feeds when you want a new pull; the dashboard also auto-refreshes on a longer interval so the page stays current without constant manual reloads.

New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman refused to apologize Saturday after her reporting spurred President Donald Trump to make what one MS NOW anchor dubbed as "horrible attacks." Haberman appeared on MS NOW to address Trump's critical response to her reporting on a New York City-born president's decision to skip the upcoming 9/11 memorial at Ground Zero. "That's objectively news," said Haberman. "It wasn't going to stay secret." This measured response stood in stark contrast to Trump's, who erupted with rage on Truth Social Friday night. “Maggot Hagerman, the Fake Reporter from The Failin

Attorney General Todd Blanche is "circling the drains" as his Justice Department edges toward a contempt finding linked to Jeffrey Epstein-related records, according to a new legal analysis. In a Saturday episode of the Legal AF podcast, Michael Popok argued that Blanche's Justice department is "staring down the barrel, the business end of a federal judge." U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan "wants to hold them in contempt of court for failing to produce documents he's ordered to be produced consistent with the Epstein Files Transparency Act," Popok said.

Centrist Dems Are at War With Their Own Voters on Israel
The “civil war” currently in the Democratic Party is usually thought of as a battle between socialists and progressives on the one hand, and centrists on the other. Which it is. But it’s also a battle between the Democratic establishment and its own voters.playing out If you need proof, look at party leadership’s to install Jared Moskowitz and several other right-wing Democrats in influential foreign policy positions if the party retakes the House of Representatives.plans “I’ll be in a position to help steer US policy on Israel and the Middle East,” said Moskowitz, who will become chair of the

In deep red South Carolina, the president helped stoke apprehension of a deeper red surge ahead of November’s US midterm elections After casting his vote in South Carolina, a man who introduced himself as Chestnut was unwilling to give his full name. “You don’t have a need to know,” the air force veteran declared.

George Conway hurled expletives and quoted Janis Joplin Saturday as he tried to explain why President Donald Trump won't spend money on his fellow Republicans ahead of the midterms — a decision host Eugene Daniels dubbed "strange." Conway, a vocal Trump critic and founder of the Lincoln Project, appeared on MS NOW to share his theory as to why Republicans continue to beg the president to spend some of his $400 million super PAC funds on their cash-starved political campaigns. "The problem is he does not give a s--- about anyone other than himself," Conway said. "Trump is the most narcissistic
Faced With Record Fires, France Skimps on Fire Crews
For thirty years, Patrice Hureaux has fought fires in his forest-covered corner of southwestern France. Every summer, he and his team work diligently to put out fires in the woods right as they start. Landes, where he lives and works, is one of the most wooded of France’s 101 local , with fully two-thirds of its territory covered in trees. He and his colleagues have their work cut out for them, but the vigilance is worth it.départements “It’s much easier to put out a fire when it starts than to let it build in intensity,” Hureaux told me earlier this month. “After, you need much more water and

You might call it a school bus ride from hell. "Everybody was screaming and stuff because they were excited to get off the bus," a 12-year-old student told KCRA-TV after his ride Monday aboard a homebound Calaveras (California) Unified School District bus. 'Parents are now sending their children to school to be parented instead of parenting their children at home, and that is a concern.' The student told KCRA the bus stopped when another student climbed out of the bus through a window. "That's when the bus driver was like, 'Sit down, roll up the windows,'" the student noted to the station. The

Of all the American political traditions we’ve lost in Trump times, one of them never got its moment of silence: “As New Hampshire goes, so goes the nation.” That chestnut rested on New Hampshire’s status as host of the first presidential primary election. When I was growing up there, we earnestly believed our parents were a solid-gold prediction market. Whoever they picked would land on the national ticket. New Hampshire was the belle of the primary season ball then, and many rural kids got their first taste of politics when they spotted George W. Bush or Barack Obama campaigning in a local G

A Kentucky mother was arrested for her reaction to seeing her husband abusing their 3-month-old daughter from security cameras as she was working, according to police. Carleena Webb returned from work on Aug. 21 to confront 36-year-old Shaun Webb about the alleged abuse but instead of removing the child, police said she went back to work. Webb admitted to suffocating his daughter by covering her mouth and nose, not to harm but to deprive her of oxygen, as he put it, to 'train the behavior.' The 33-year-old mother was charged with first-degree criminal abuse for leaving the child in her husband
