Ad Fontes Media - news source bias comparison chart

[Layzeebeaver]

A very interesting news analysis website.

Playing with the knobs likely tells most of us what we already know - which sites and news sources are considered reliable.

But for new folks or those that have not considered it, this is a great resource to check a few times a year.

1. Their choice for "middle or balanced bias" seems pretty subjective

It's hard to see Forbes, Fortune and Bloomberg all listed as left-of-center without laughing. They are all very pro-business and capitalism.

2. they do describe their methodology, which seems balanced and objective.

But nothing is ever the complete truth when it comes to current media and propaganda.

Regardless, it's a resource. something to inspect every few months.

3. I can't see where

but with nearly every major media outlet placed on the left (on the right: WSJ, and that's about it - and they think that, for instance, NBC (not MSNBC) is further to the left than the WSJ is to the right), I'd find it hard to see it as "objective".

It's possible that it is rating "right" as "Trump supporting". That would explain why the Bulwark podcast is listed as -15.33 (they are never-Trumpers, but would have been happy McCain or Romney voters). That's compared to NewsMax (+13.51) or OAN (+14). And those two are frankly insanely right wing.
