Same story, different headlines: “disclosure spielberg steven office”
Outlets are ordered by how recently they covered the topic. Alto applies no political rating to any publisher and links to each one's original reporting; inclusion is not an endorsement.
Enter a topic and this tool pulls the most recent headline from each outlet covering it, then lays them out side by side. Same event, same day, different framing — with a link to every original article.
This is Alto's whole premise as a utility. Aggregating hundreds of publishers is only useful if you can see them against each other, and a normal search results page ranked by relevance hides exactly that comparison.
What you're looking at
Each card is one outlet's most recent headline matching your topic, newest outlets first. Where a publisher has covered the story more than once, the second-most-recent headline appears beneath the first. Word choice, what gets named in the headline, and what gets left out are usually where the differences show up.
No bias scores, on purpose
Alto does not tag these outlets as left, right, or center. Any such label is a contestable editorial judgment, and attaching one would turn a neutral comparison into a scoring system readers would be right to argue with. The headlines are shown plainly and attributed to their publisher, and readers draw their own conclusions.
Aggregation, not endorsement
Alto links to each publisher's original reporting and hosts none of it. Appearing in a comparison is not an endorsement of an outlet or its accuracy, and absence is not a judgment either — it usually just means that publisher has not covered the topic recently.

Headline Comparison — Frequently Asked Questions
- How do you decide which outlets to show?
- Outlets are selected by whether they have recently published a story matching your topic, ordered by how recently they covered it. There is no editorial ranking, curation, or political weighting applied.
- Do you label outlets as left-wing or right-wing?
- No. Alto shows the headline and the publisher name without any political rating. Bias labels are contested editorial judgments, and the comparison is more useful and more honest without them.
- Why does an outlet I expected not appear?
- It most likely has not published a matching story recently, or its wording did not match your search terms. Try a broader or more distinctive phrase.
