Question 1

How does The Balanced News prevent fake news?

Accepted Answer

We only aggregate from established news organizations with editorial standards - Times of India, NDTV, The Hindu, Indian Express, and similar credible outlets. We don't include random websites, viral social media posts, or unverified sources. Additionally, by showing you how multiple outlets cover the same story, you can easily spot when something doesn't add up.

Question 2

Do you fact-check articles?

Accepted Answer

We don't add our own fact-checking layer on top of articles. Instead, we rely on source curation (only credible outlets) and transparency (showing you multiple perspectives). When 5 different outlets report the same facts but frame them differently, you can trust the facts while seeing the spin. We always link to original sources so you can verify anything yourself.

Question 3

What about biased news that's technically true?

Accepted Answer

This is exactly what our AI bias detection addresses. A story can be factually accurate but presented in a misleading way through selective emphasis, loaded language, or missing context. Our bias scores help you identify this kind of spin, even when the underlying facts are correct.

Question 4

How do you choose which sources to include?

Accepted Answer

We include established news organizations that have professional editorial processes, corrections policies, and accountability. This includes outlets from across the political spectrum - we include both left-leaning and right-leaning credible outlets. We exclude unverified sources, purely opinion blogs without editorial oversight, and outlets known for publishing misinformation.

Question 5

Can fake news still appear in your app?

Accepted Answer

While our source curation dramatically reduces fake news risk, even established outlets sometimes make mistakes. That's why we encourage comparison - if only one outlet is reporting something dramatic and others aren't, that's a red flag. Our multi-source approach is your best defense against misinformation.
