Summarized from more than one independent rater, including AllSides and Ad Fontes Media. We do not rate outlets ourselves.
Founded in 1994 to cover Congress itself, and owned by Nexstar Media Group. Its bread and butter is procedural coverage of legislation, committees and campaigns rather than argument.
Its straight reporting on what Congress is actually doing is used by staff in both parties, and its opinion section publishes writers from across the spectrum. Critics argue the opinion pages are lightly edited and that the volume of contributed commentary dilutes the reporting operation's credibility.
