Simply put, Skewz is a media rating site for political news. You can rate anything on the Internet in terms of its political bias whether that’s liberal or conservative. The bias could be “good bias” or “bad bias”, that’s up to you. That’s pretty much sums up the site.. Users can do the following among many other things:
(1) Read political news while knowing the article or blog entry’s perceived political bias and popularity.
(2) Submit political news from media sources (articles, videos, picture, editorials, etc.) or blogs and rate that submission in terms of political bias.
(3) Vote on submissions already found on the Skewz.com site in terms of liberal or conservative bias.
(4) Comment on submissions.

Anyone whether you are a registered user or not can read the submissions on skewz.com. These submissions come from all over the Internet from main stream and corporate media sources to blog entries from the blogosphere. Anyone can also explore the debate surrounding each submission in the comments section. You can also easily sort the news in terms of categories, newest/most popular, and in terms of political bias (conservative or liberal). For a specific story, you can also easily find a similar submission or that submission’s political opposite (learn more about how to read on skewz now).

Registered users can submit articles, videos, blog entries, pictures, or any other posting they find on the internet and rate that posting in terms of political bias – either liberal bias or conservative bias. Bias does not necessarily have to be negative. You can submit postings that support your point of view whether that point of view is liberal or conservative and indicate the bias of the posting as a proud advocate. Or you can blow the whistle on what you perceive are biases that taint the postings ability to objectively discuss an issue. The most important thing to remember is that you are rating that specific article or posting and not the subject being covered.
