Media Bias Chart

[sy2502]

Did they seriously put MSNBC under "Neutral"?

[I3igAl]

For anyone interested, there is a website that is pretty good (IMO, I guess) about media bias.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com




It provides a political affiliation on a spectrum, and rates their factual reporting. If there is political bias it is cited with examples, as are non-factual reportings.

Their list seems okay. Sadly neither CNN nor Fox News is included.

CNN is under left-biased, Fox is under right-biased

[CaliSuperSport]

It's not just "nonsense", it's "nonsense damaging to public discourse".

Same as Fox News, The Daily Caller, Breitbart, The Blaze, and Info Wars. The Federalist and the Drudge Report aren't far behind.

Info wars fits squarely into that category. But Shapiro is the best thing to happen to modern political discourse ded srs

post your direct link to the superior chart in 3...2...1.... go!

Whale chit, I played myself.

[Skezo]

CNN should be the mirror opposite of Fox. They both have "entertainment" commentary from talking heads with very obvious slants.

Wrong. Fox actually has a few liberal anchors. Cnn has zero conservatives

[jahaa]

I'm sure CNN and NBC was 93% negative towards Obama

Thanks to Obama and the 2012 mundt act, he made propaganda legal again.... Turned our biased MSM into nothing but PURe propaganda, worse than pravda.



Our MSM truly is the enemy of the people.

People are waking up.

[elterrible987]

lmao at infowars in the far right bottom corner.

Infowars placed at the far right when his gay marriage views are more progressive than 2008 Obama and Hillary.


lmao at this propaganda piece.

[tk217]

Such a bull**** chart.

[jafomofo]

time is on the right and they compared jacobin which is straight commie trash to the intercept? garbage

[Jasonw1178]

Whoever made this chart was liberal to say the least. Somewhat accurate but favors the left. The media is generally left wing. One fact about almost all news is that journalist offer more opinions than facts.

[NYPat]

Lol at everyone saying this favors the left.

Most people lean left. To the tune of about 60/40.

There's a reason there's only one Fox News. (and I say "news".. well..)

And opinion pieces are not news. They're opinions. Like the the people who post on this forum.

[WrestlingFan123]

Was this before or after the Clinton campaign released a photo of Obama in traditional ****li garb? Was it before Mark Penn told HRC Obama's weakness was "his roots to basic American values and culture are at best limited. I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American..."
To which the Hillary campaign added a line in her speech which emphasized she was “born in the middle of America to the middle class in the middle of the last century.”

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...19-2008/37952/

Please remember while the Hillary campaign did fire a low level staffer they said sent an email promoting the birther conspiracy they kept both Mark Penn who suggested Obama was fundamently foreign and Stephanie Tubbs who said Obama was a native to ****lia on the team.

NYPat have you responded to this yet?

[~Hades~]

If I make a chart, does it legitimize my opinion of what is biased and what isn’t?

This is the same as trying to determine “hate speech”. We can have different opinions so too much power is given to who determines what it is.

[iabs]

If you don't need dual screen to see CNN on that chart then the chart is not accurate.

[sy2502]

Most media lean left.

Fixed it for you.

[skinnyFAT91]

Disney/ABC is liberal asf.

They've got way more than that list


Just google any media outlet + "media bias fact check"

and their review will come up

Wow, how wrong can you be

More people identify as conservative, although the margin has been eroding in recent years.

Thirty-five percent of U.S. adults in 2017 identified as conservative and 26% as liberal, the first time the conservative label's edge has been single digits.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/225074/...le-digits.aspx

Roughly one third of the American public self-identify as "conservative." Conservatives commonly outnumber liberals in the general public with both ideological groupings being outnumbered by centrists.[10]

The whole liberal/conservative dichotomy is for ****ing idiots who don't hold varied positions on anything.

^good site for checking media bias of various organizations

[ContrarianIndi]

That chart should be on the far bottom left section of that chart.

lol.

[MiscInformed]

Yeah but who runs THAT website....

So often people claim to be "fact checkers", but even the big ones (snopes, politico) have been caught fraudin/and being extremely politically slanted. Snopes is propaganda...




https://www.justfactsdaily.com/media...-or-dishonest/

Yeha, I call BS on the impartiality of that site too. Knowing Breitbart very well (I've been reading it since day one) and knowing it's the current boogeyman of the left, I checked out their review.

It's laughable. It's a smear job.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/breitbart/

The 3 sources they use to justify calling it "not factual" are the big 3 democrat-run fact checking sites that try to pass themselves off as legit to those who don't know any better: snopes, politifact, factcheck.org

They also list it as extreme right. That's patently absurd. You'd have to believe that Trump was Hitler to come to that conclusion.

Here's what Breitbart really is.

It's a headline aggregator site, sprinkled with some opinion.

It's solidly right of center, but it's not extreme. I don't even know what the extreme right is supposed to be. I know the left thinks the extreme right are fascists, but fascism is an ideology of the left (Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin). So this is obviously some sort of smear directed at their defense of Trump.

Breitbart mostly links to their sources and provides a paragraph of two of commentary, but some pieces are opinion pieces.

They are mostly factual. The few times they've been called out for being wrong, they've noted the mistake on the site.

I know why libtards hate them. They are a serious voice countering libtard propaganda online, so they want Breitbart silenced, or failing that, painted as untruthful. I think they'll fail.

This is the conclusion from that BS site:

Overall, we rate Breitbart Questionable based on extreme right wing bias and publication of numerous false claims. (M. Huitsing 7/14/2018)

That doesn't match up with reality in any way shape or form.

I have no doubt now that if I went down the rabbithole, I'd find Soros money funding mediabiasfactcheck.com

Soros specializes in funding these sorts of things online, while other leftwing billionaires spend their money on gun control/confiscation, LGBTWTFLOL legislation, etc.

[MiscInformed]

The whole liberal/conservative dichotomy is for ****ing idiots who don't hold varied positions on anything.

This is actually true. Conservative is an umbrella term covering several different strains of conservatism. There is even enough animosity between different strains that it's difficult to get them together in a room without a shouting match breaking out.

For example, neocons and paleocons. They share some of the same beliefs, but in other areas are as opposite as night and day.

wait a minue
