Upvoted because unnecessary to downvote this comment, but calling the WaPo "far left" is ridiculous.
They are center-right editorially (in my opinion) and relatively neutral in terms of the two parties.
Both Democrats and Republicans bitch relatively equally about the "bias". Same applies to NYT and others.
"Left" publications would be ones such as Mother Jones.
"Right" would be National Review.
There are academic attempts to classify media on the left/right partisan measure such as https://guides.lib.umich.edu/c.php?g=637508&p=4462444 https://guides.lib.umich.edu/c.php?g=637508&p=4462444
and even a "patented" bias measurement at:
https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-ratings https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-ratings
which is vastly amusing to review outside of the US bubble.
Calling the Economist "left" is just plain wrong. They are the original "liberal" (as in regarding economics, trade etc) newspaper.
