    You can vote on its political leaning as a reader without logging in. I just did it myself. I marked it neutral.

    So that meter is just showing how the conservative readers’ brains are interpreting actual facts, meaning “facts I don’t like are liberal.” Which…is asinine.

      I did this as well. Did you notice after voting it says most votes mark this as “Center/fair” but if you then view the webpage in a private tab it goes back to being “Unfair left leaning” article. I’m guessing Newsweek lock that value? How could it be unfair left leaning if most votes are for neutral…

        I did not notice that! Sounds like a deliberate falsification of data that totally furthers the agenda of Newsweek.

        Nothing to see here. All is normal and fine. No need to worry.
