Aethelgard

Aethelgard is a web app where users paste a news article link to see who owns the publishing outlet, what the article pushes, and how one-sided it is. The page shows an example result with an ownership field, a checked date, a one-sidedness rating on a 7-level scale, a summary of what the article pushes, and notes on views or context left out. Checking an article requires a free account with 3 new checks per day. The site also offers a Latest tab, a Checked by others tab, a browser shortcut, and a How it works section, with the Latest and How it works tabs available without an account. The example result describes itself as one AI-assisted reading of one article, not a verdict on the outlet.
