What is The Bipartisan Press?
The Bipartisan Press is an online news publication launched in 2018 with the goal of reducing political polarization in America. It aims to accomplish this by providing news coverage and analysis from both liberal and conservative perspectives on the same events and issues.
Articles on The Bipartisan Press typically present the liberal viewpoint first, followed by the conservative viewpoint. The idea is that readers will be exposed to political opinions they may not otherwise seek out in their own media bubbles. This exposure to opposing perspectives can lead to better understanding of why reasonable people can disagree in good faith.
In addition to news articles written from different political slants, The Bipartisan Press provides point-counterpoint opinion pieces where liberal and conservative columnists debate issues directly. They also produce some non-political news content related to science, technology, arts and culture.
By including both left-leaning and right-leaning reporting and opinions side-by-side, The Bipartisan Press hopes to balance out some of the polarization that has intensified in recent years around political issues. Their target audience is open-minded readers across the political spectrum seeking more impartial coverage than typically found in partisan online media outlets.
