Wow, all of those are considered far left sources according to mediabiasfactcheck.com, except for The Atlantic, which is only center left. I don't want to pay $5 a month to only hear one side of the story.
- pjc50 7y agoAnd who is this mediabiasfactcheck.com? Is it bias all the way down? It appears to be some guy called Dave Van Zandt. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Media_Bias/Fact_Check https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Media_Bias/Fact_Check > "Until October 2018 MBFC rated China's Xinhua News Agency as "least biased",[205] but the rating has since changed to the somewhat more reasonable "left-center bias".[206] Xinhua has been criticized by Reporters Without Borders as being the "world's biggest propaganda agency",[207][208] and is regarded by Wikipedia as a source "to treat carefully"" Are you sure that Buzzfeed is to the left of the Communist Party official outlet?
- belorn 7y agoDo you prefer the study from harvard? https://cyber.harvard.edu/publications/2017/08/mediacloud https://cyber.harvard.edu/publications/2017/08/mediacloud They define buzzfeed as center-left.
- dewey 7y agoWhat's up with all these comments pointing out that "they are all far left sources" suddenly? Did this thread get posted in some other community and there's an influx of these users now?
- malvosenior 7y agoThe user you're responding to has been on HN since 2013. A lot of people are just really tired of the single point of view that's so prevalent (and pushed so aggressively) in our industry.
- krastanov 7y ago"Left" and "far left" are usually considered two different things... And this website rates them simply as left. But the rest of your comment is very pertinent, I do hope they include a wider variety of sources.
