Narrative Compass produces automated, AI-generated analysis. It is for media-literacy purposes only and is not a fact-check, editorial judgment, or statement of truth about any person, outlet, or event.

1. AI-generated analysis

Headline comparisons, “opinion bleed” ratings, omitted-context lists, consensus framing, and velocity scores are generated in whole or in part by a large language model (Google Gemini) and by rule-based code. Output may be incomplete, inaccurate, out of date, or inconsistent between runs. Do not rely on it as the sole basis for any decision.

2. Known limitations

  • Only headlines, RSS excerpts, and text retrievable at scan time are analyzed. Paywalled or blocked articles may be analyzed on headline alone.
  • Keyword clustering can group unrelated stories or miss related ones.
  • Velocity scores combine outlet saturation, public trend data, and forum activity. They measure attention, not accuracy or importance.
  • Demonstration data shown when a scheduled refresh is unavailable is illustrative and is not current reporting.
  • The AI model may misidentify tone, intent, or omitted facts, and may state uncertain claims with unwarranted confidence.

3. Not a fact-check or statement of fact

“Factual Baseline” and “Omitted Facts” fields summarize context the model considers relevant. They are not verified findings. Check the original articles and primary sources before drawing conclusions.

4. Source selection

The lists of partisan and mainstream outlets reflect the operator's editorial judgment for this comparison. They are not an official rating, and inclusion or labeling does not imply that any individual article is inaccurate or that any outlet is acting in bad faith.

5. Intellectual property

Article headlines and excerpts belong to their publishers and are shown for identification and commentary. Click through to the original source for full reporting.

6. No warranty; limitation of liability

The service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for losses arising from reliance on the site's content or from interruptions to the service.

7. Not legal, financial, or professional advice

Nothing on this site constitutes legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice.
