1. A system for determining at least one of a factual truth measure and a bias of media content comprising:
(a) a factual bias database accessible by a computing device that includes a media set of media sources and a factual set of factual ratings, where each of said media sources of said media set includes an associated said factual rating of said factual set, wherein there are a plurality of different factual ratings, wherein there are a plurality of different media sources associated with each of said different factual ratings, wherein one of said media sources has a first subset of content that is associated with a first one of said different factual ratings, wherein said one of said media sources has a second subset of content that is associated with a second one of said different factual ratings;
(b) said computing device including a display associated therewith;
(c) said computing device receiving a plurality of media contents which are simultaneously rendered on said display;
(d) said computing device determining a source of each of said plurality of media contents, wherein a source of one of said plurality of media contents is associated with said first subset of content said associated with said first one of said different factual ratings which is rendered by the computing device with a first graphical icon, wherein a source of another one of said plurality of media contents is associated with said second subset of content said associated with said second one of said different factual ratings which is rendered by the computing device with a second graphical icon, where the first graphical icon for said first subset of content and said second graphical icon for said second subset of content identifying said one of said media sources are indistinguishable in their graphical appearance from one another when rendered, wherein said first graphic icon includes an associated third graphical icon indicating a first media channel for said media content, wherein said second graphical icon includes an associated fourth graphical icon indicating said first media channel for said media content, wherein said first subset of content and said second subset of content from said one of said media sources are provided by through said first media channel in the same manner;
(e) said computing device determining an associated said factual rating, including said first subset of content and said second subset of content, for each of said media contents based upon a respective said source;
(f) said computing device rendering a plurality of indicators including said first and second graphical icons, each of which is associated with a corresponding one of said plurality of media contents, indicating at least one of a factual truth measure and a bias of respective said media contents.
