I agree with other comments about the questionable usefulness of left/right categorization.
But even within this framework, I don't understand how this can be said to be working correctly.
Right now, with biden as the search term, the top (default centrist) article is an opinion piece on Fox News:

The top "extreme left" article is from a fairly orthodox (albeit partisan) blogger on MSNBC

The Fox News piece is not in any way centrist, let alone objective. The MSNBC piece is not, in any way, extreme left.
(To be clear, there is plenty of extreme left media out there. This is not a representative example. If you think - or if your algorithm thinks - that this is extreme left, you have no business being in this business.)
