Agree. The word “context” means nothing to most people.

That is a shite chart. ABC, CNBC, NPR, PBS in the middle or slightly skewing left?

That is what they have purported to be for 50+ years, now.

Otherwise, M-F, I listen to a podcast called Breaking Points.
I concur with Breaking Points too. Its a Youtube Channel.
I tend to see the left leaners are critical of the left doing dumb shite and the right leaners critical of right when doing dumb shite.

That chart is itself an example of bias. CNN “skews left”? My arse!
You’re nuts if you think CNN is fair and in the middle. They are propagandists.

I signed up for a daily email called 1440. They bill themselves as anon-bias news source. It is essentially a lot of links to articles, but they do have 2-3 main news events they write about.
1440 Signup link
I also read a digital version of the Wall Street Journal which tends to be moderate with opinions from both sides.

I might scoot them to the west coast a little but they’re not egregiously out of place. Honestly I think most of them are roughly where they should be left to right.
What is more problematic is how they’re positioned vertically. All the legacy news outlets are at the top indicating that they’re more reliable and time and time again they’ve proven to be anything but that.

I don’t watch or read the news at all since the beginning of the year about the time that moron pulled the fire alarm in the senate. I read what’s on this board and TexAgs general board and that’s it.
If anything big happens my wife usually blurts it out, ie, when she told me Trump shot someone, I thought “wow that’s great” and went back to whatever I was doing.

Typical snowflake response. Can’t retort with facts, so you resort to childish comebacks.

Try centuries. Jefferson and Hamilton started papers just to shite talk each other albeit much more eloquently than today

Being retired, I go to a list of news websites where I can read across the spectrum to help cut through the BS. For the most part, I really don't like to view videos of news people reading to me. It is too slow and often takes too long to get to the point. I can cover a lot more ground by reading it myself.
I read sites that I often politically disagree with if for no other reason to know what they are up to.

Yeah, a little self awareness is helpful here too. Anyone looking at this graph (myself included) is not perceiving it head-on from the center. We’re perceiving it from wherever our own biases have placed us.
For most posters here that’s somewhere on the right, so the perception is that stuff from CNN, NPR, MSNBC etc is left as left can be. All you have to do is read some of the stuff that is actually far left to know that’s not even remotely true.

I've hear the "Ha, it's an AP article what do you mean it's slanted?!" when someone tries to portray an AP opinion piece as fact. Even in the fact based articles there is always going to be a bias and a slant is human nature by their own biases. I like the BBC personally just because their opinion is that both sides are dumbasses so calling it that way is what they do.

I'm happier not watching/reading the news. If something important happens, I'll see it here.

Look at different sources, which is becoming harder since search results are often skewed in one direction. I think Bret Baier on Fox is the best straight newscaster right now. The rest of Fox News broadcasting definitely skews right, to varying extents. Most all the rest of the mainstream media skews left. There are podcasts from interesting people who are worth listening too to get more indepth looks.
