It's funny that it has Fox news as center to me. I watched them back when Obama was president a couple times and some of the shows would play Nazi videos while talking about him. Nevermind birtherism. I haven't watched them in over a decade, but I assume they haven't gotten any better.

They currently lists Fox News as (US) "Right" as far as I can tell: https://ground.news/interest/fox-news_a44aba https://ground.news/interest/fox-news_a44aba > Average Bias Rating: Right I guess it's possible they don't have a 100% coverage of all the local Fox News stations, and some of them been incorrectly labeled.

  Oh, my mistake. I looked at the other link (https://ground.news/article/newsom-vetoes-bill-for-stricter-ai-regulations_a8c41b https://ground.news/article/newsom-vetoes-bill-for-stricter-...) and Fox News was in the grey, or "center" section. I assume they're doing some extra analysis to put them there for this specific subject?

    Nah, it's just the UI being awkward. The prominent tabs at the top just change the AI summary, while there is a much more subtle set of tabs beneath where it (currently) says "63 articles" that filter the sources.

I think if you look at the actual news reporting on Fox News, it could be closer to center. But when you factor in their opinion "reporting" it's very clearly heavily right-leaning. Problem is, most of their viewership can't tell the difference.

  Also while many individual stories might be in the center, bias is also exhibited in which stories they choose to print, or not to, as well as in esitorialized headlines.

    This is part of why I like ground.news, they will show you blindspots based on the existence of reporting entirely. If you read mainly left or center news, the front page is about 50% stories that are mostly over covered by "right" news outlets (and vice versa).
