Unfortunately quite over simplified. Some of the news outlets placed toward the middle can be just as bad as those on the fringes, and vice-versa. The truth of a given story depends on the circumstance, subject mater and the agenda of the news organization. For example Natural News can easily have very valid stories on the virtues of canniboids, and yet have very questionable stories on chem-trails or homeopathic medicine. Same goes for alt-right outlets that legitimately report on issues like government overreach, but then blow others, like body bag deliveries and Obama's birth certificate, way out of the rational zone. (P.S. Please don't harp on these particular examples -- everyone has different opinions about everything, and there are plenty more examples most of us can agree on, even if we don't agree on a few in particular... well, that is if you aren't a complete sheep.)
