NPR (which I love) definitely skews liberal, as does the NYT.

Fox is hard right and not remotely credible.

National Review was not listed, which surprises me. It skews hard right, but it is intellectually consistent, in general. It's articles are well-written and informative, albeit obviously biased. I note they were anti-Trumpers for the duration.

The Wall Street Journal is really bimodal. It's news is solidly middle-of-the-road. It's editorials are hard right. It's also well-written and generally intellectually consistent. It probably appears more conservative than it is superficially because it is, at heart, a fiscal/investment paper.
