What The Fact
AI-powered news analysis for independent thinkers. Bias scoring, automated fact-checking, and multi-source story clustering across Canadian media — so you see the full picture, not just one outlet's angle.
Features
Bias Analysis
Every article is scored on the left-right spectrum. See outlet rolling averages and understand how political lean shapes coverage — not just what is said, but how.
Automated Fact-Checking
V.E.R.I.F.Y. AI extracts key claims from every article and returns heuristic verdicts. Upgrade to Starter for deep rationale and trigger phrase breakdowns.
Story Clustering
The same story, from every angle. Articles covering the same event are automatically grouped so you can compare how CBC, National Post, and La Presse frame the same facts.
Geographic Variation
L.O.C.A.L. AI detects when the same article loads differently based on your location — flagging geo-filtered content and regional narrative differences.
Outlet Intelligence
Rolling bias averages and coverage maps per source. Know which outlets lean which direction on which topics — backed by data, not opinion.
Daily Digest
A curated briefing of the top Canadian stories — summarized, scored, and cross-referenced — delivered to your inbox or read on-site.
Blindspot Feed
Stories covered by only 1–2 outlets while the rest of the Canadian press stays silent. Low coverage score = more ignored. These are the stories editors didn't assign.
FR/EN Divergence
Stories where French and English Canadian outlets tell a completely different story — either by ignoring it or framing it with opposite political lean. The two solitudes, measured.
18 News Beats
Filter all 22,000+ articles by topic: Sports, Health, Climate, Crime, Parliament, Economy, Education, Indigenous, Housing, Justice, and more. Every story categorized by AI.
Weather & Climate Intelligence
A.U.R.O.R.A. tracks climate and science stories across all 46 Canadian outlets — because in Canada, the weather IS the news. Bias-scored and geo-mapped.
Economy & Markets
Business, economy, and foreign policy news filtered and bias-scored — cross-referenced with Market Watch for financial context behind every headline.
Riding-Level Filter
Filter stories by federal riding. See which MPs are mentioned in coverage of your constituency — powered by parliamentary record linkage across all 46 sources.
Bias Drift Tracker

Media Ownership Map
Who controls Canadian news? Postmedia owns 20% of tracked outlets. See every owner, their outlets, their average bias, and their share of the Canadian media landscape.
