  Within the United States, the majority of the populace receives their news
online. U.S mainstream media outlets both generate and influence the news
consumed by U.S citizens. Many of these citizens have their personal beliefs
about these outlets and question the fairness of their reporting. We offer an
interactive visualization system for the public to assess their perception of
the mainstream media's coverage of a topic against the data. Our system
combines belief elicitation techniques and narrative structure designs,
emphasizing transparency and user-friendliness to facilitate users'
self-assessment on personal beliefs. We gathered $\sim${25k} articles from the
span of 2020-2022 from six mainstream media outlets as a testbed. To evaluate
our system, we present usage scenarios alongside a user study with a
qualitative analysis of user exploration strategies for personal belief
assessment. We report our observations from this study and discuss future work
and challenges of developing tools for the public to assess media outlet
coverage and belief updating on provocative topics.
