What is an important question to ask when deciding if an online news source is too biased?

To judge whether a news source is too biased, consider how its bias shapes the information it presents—for example, whether it leaves out important facts or favors one side. Sharing the source’s viewpoint, your friends’ opinions, or the number of people sharing its content does not show whether its information is reliable. The best question is “How does the bias affect the source’s information?”
