Optics — Media Bias News

Stop reading one headline at a time.

Optics scans 380+ feeds from 250+ outlets every 5 minutes and groups coverage of the same event across left, center, and right sources. Instead of only showing which outlet covered a story, Optics shows how the wording changes your first impression.

SPIN CHECK
Open any multi-source story to compare the headlines side by side. Optics highlights loaded words, framing shifts, and the source spread behind the story.

WORDING GAP
Every comparison gets a 0-99 score for headline contrast. Low scores mean the wording is mostly aligned. High scores mean the first impression changes around blame, certainty, urgency, emotion, or emphasis.

ECHO ALERTS
Spot early pickup and one-sided coverage. Optics flags stories that one part of the source map is covering before the rest catches up.

SHARE CARDS
Turn a headline split into a clean visual for Facebook, Instagram, group chats, or class discussion.

SOURCE MAP
Browse the left, center, and right outlets in each cluster, then open the original publisher links yourself.

Optics is a headline-framing detector, not a fact-checker. It helps you see the words shaping the story before you react to it.

Optics Premium ($4.99/month or $39.99/year) unlocks unlimited Spin Checks, share cards, full source lists, loaded-word explanations, and Echo Alert notifications.
