Outlet track record
Straight Arrow News
U.S. center
Straight Arrow News is a digital news outlet founded in 2021 and entirely bankrolled by TD Ameritrade billionaire Joe Ricketts, who runs it himself from Omaha, Nebraska. All three major U.S. media-bias trackers — AllSides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias/Fact Check — rate it at or near center, with AllSides awarding it a Balance Certification for three consecutive years through 2025. Its coverage of the Trump second term follows the same fact-forward, minimally opinionated approach it applies across all topics, without a detectable consistent lean toward or against the administration.
