This is pretty accurate: https://adfontesmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Media-Bias-Chart-8.0_Sept-2021-Unlicensed-Social-Media_Hi_Res-1200x950.jpg AP, Reuters, NPR, BBC - look for primary sources that question the issue and try not to add a bias to the discussion. Obviously every news organization is going to have its own bias, but if they are going out of their way to try to be less biased you will have more factual and instructional news. I'm not going to do the thing where I go through and pick out things that are in the wrong place (Jimmy Dore Show is the furthest left of all of those things?) but I feel like you should be wary of the methodology when the results of the mapping so clearly follows a clear curve of best fit. Like we're given two axes here of bias vs value/reliability but you can predict 95% of what they will rate the value/reliability by just looking at their bias rating. If you think it's "obvious" that it should be that way, why rate it on those two axes? There's other circular problems where certain framing is viewed as "unbiased" because sources that are viewed as "unbiased" use them. See phrases like "officer involved shooting". --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:959531203] in Can someon...
