- bediger4000 4y agoThat chart is extremelydebatable: putting CNN in with Jacobin seems odd, as does putting Epoch Times as merely "conservative". As a conservative, I'm going to have to say this chart isn't very good.
- lockhouse 4y agoDuring the Obama and Trump administrations CNN went really far left. I think that’s accurately categorized. You might be right about Epoch Times, I’m not very familiar with it.
- filoeleven 4y agoThe link below is to a much more informative chart. It covers left/right bias and has a y axis of “reliability.” https://adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/ https://adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/
- bediger4000 4y agoI dunno having the WSJ "skews right" makes me wonder. Epoch Times and Jacobin don't appear, and Joe Rogan is dead center. Hmmm ....
- bradknowles 4y agoThe radical right has moved the "center" so far that if Nixon were alive today, he would be considered a radical liberal. It is entirely possible, likely even, that the WaPo hasn't changed their position, or has even moved further right. They just haven't moved as far right as the average, and so therefore you blame them for being liberal now.
