Been a really big fan for years, currently doesn't load pictures at all for me.

News from both sides, and often the non opinionated news the way it should be, leave that to the tabloids like Fox.

I do like what Allsides is attempting to do and appreciate the content, but this app crashes 100% of the time when I tap the "Bias" icon at the bottom, even after clearing data or a reinstall.
