I'm going to ignore Trump comments because those are irrelevant here. Quick Google search reveals several sources claiming Left bias. My personal opinion is that it is left of NYT. NYT opinion pieces are extreme left while the news are center-left. https://adfontesmedia.com/washington-post-bias-and-reliability/ https://adfontesmedia.com/washington-post-bias-and-reliabili... https://www.allsides.com/news-source/washington-post-media-bias https://www.allsides.com/news-source/washington-post-media-b... Here is a the whole chart: https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart > I don't even understand this world where people can accuse the WaPo of being far left. Recommend exploring more areas of the political spectrum. Not a single source claiming WaPo is center-right. If you can find a better source than your own delusion, I'd love to see!

Why is the chart you linked authoritative? > NYT opinion pieces are extreme left So when they published an op-ed by Tom Cotton calling for the mobilization of the military against American citizens, that was "extreme left"? > Not a single source claiming WaPo is center-right Not a single source /of your sources/.

You have no idea what "extreme left" means. And the "allsides" chart with Jacobin lumped in with the NYT and MSNBC is hilariously bad. Allsides itself was formed by a former Republican which is where its bias lies.

  > And the "allsides" chart with Jacobin lumped in with the NYT and MSNBC is hilariously bad. Yeah I can understand using a left/right scale more relative to American political parties, but that's like meme a tier placing. Left and right are already broad terms and shit like these makes it even more binary.
