How biased is your news source?

[The Barbarian]

Are we even aware of our biases anymore?

If you look at this chart and are convinced your “extreme” source belongs in the middle, you just might be part of the problem plaguing America today.

I'd say that chart gets it about right.

Looks like my favorites are fairly unbiased: NPR, PBS, CSM, The Guardian and the Times. I do like a few the chart has skewed more dramatically, if largely as windows into that thinking or for entertainment, like: The New Yorker, Huff Po and the New Republic on the left and the Hill, Journal, and National Review on the right.

My biggest beef with your site (which seems generally accurate) is George Will as far-right. He seems too reasonable to be pegged on the far side of the political spectrum.

He's an endangered species, a smart, honest, thoughtful conservative. And it doesn't help him one bit for people like me to think that of him, nor does it help that he got a job at MSNBC.

AP, AFP and Reuters "neutral"?!?

For Americans, yes. For the far right, anything to the left of Benito Mussolini is biased.

For Americans, yes.

I've spent countless hours with their reports; trust me, they're anything but neutral.

Sounds unlikely. But then, you make claims like that all the time.

Stipe, no one with any sense trusts you.

Sounds unlikely.

I'm always surprising people.

But then, you make claims like that all the time.

I do? When was the last time I claimed some sort of affinity with something unexpected?

Stipe, no one with any sense trusts you.

Oh well. You can't please everyone. :idunno:

Meanwhile, your graph is laughable.

A Fox News contributor resigned today, citing the organization's shameful turn toward propaganda and attacking the Constitutional Order.
