How the RUSH Grade works

Every article is read in full and graded on four metrics. Each metric earns a letter grade, and the four combine into the overall RUSH Grade — A+ to F.

HEADLINE
Headline Accuracy

Does the headline match what the article actually reports? Honest framing — or a promise the story never keeps?

AAccurateCExaggeratedEDeceptive
HONESTY
Honesty & Integrity

Is the reporting comprehensive? Are claims sourced? Is relevant context included, or strategically omitted?

BIAS
Bias Detection

Is the language neutral? Are sources balanced? Does the framing subtly push a viewpoint through loaded terms?

INFLUENCE
Reader Influence

Is the reader being informed or manipulated? Are clickbait and outrage tactics at play?

Every grade is generated by the same RUSH engine that grades the articles across this site, and every graded article is saved — anyone who grades the same URL sees the identical RUSH Grade. Outlet bias ratings come from independent raters (AllSides, MBFC, Ad Fontes); RUSH never assigns its own political ratings.
