The AllSides Media Bias Chart™ might give the false impression that all of its featured outlets are read equally, when in reality, some have much more influence than others.
Pulling back the curtain and seeing which news sources people actually read can give us a better understanding of how the news media relates to the public. For instance, an AllSides analysis found that a handful of news websites get read more often than the next 50 sources combined.
Furthermore, and perhaps unsurprisingly, liberal news sources get visited far more often than conservative outlets. Sources with a Media Bias Rating of Lean Left in particular got many more site visits over a three-month period than outlets with other bias ratings.

In fact, outlets we rate as Lean Left and Center accounted for the majority of online news traffic. Meanwhile, outlets rated Left and Lean Left got roughly 375 million more site visits than Lean Right and Right outlets in July 2022, demonstrating their greater influence on the media landscape.

AllSides gathered website traffic data for all 64 news outlets featured on the AllSides Media Bias Chart™ from the months of June, July, and August 2022, sourced from SimilarWeb. This included pageviews, not reach, meaning we measured how frequently a site was visited, not how many individual people visited it.
Here are the top 10 online news sources on the AllSides Media Bias Chart™:

The most-visited news websites were large, popular news organizations with cable TV channels like CNN (Left bias), BBC News (Center bias), and Fox News (Right bias).
