Re: do you agree with this news source bias chart?
Maybe it's because I'm Canadian but it's interesting I've heard about a lot of the ones on the left, but very few of the ones on the right
Also I thought time was more liberal, but I've also never read it so hey

Re: do you agree with this news source bias chart?
You dont simply agree with a chart without the study that lead to it. Who financed the study, who did it, etc. I could go look it up but my point is you should also present that info if asking peoples' opinion on it.

I read about half the study and some things I can only assume because of the references to books I havent read. However I can't say I agree with the premise that because many decisions are binary and those are better understood we should study media bias on a 2 dimension scale. It might reach more americans because of the heavy seperation between liberal/conservative in the population, but saying that those who aren't in that spectrum simply fall in the middle no matter what reduces the meaning of the middle section. Unless you define liberal and conservative ideas to be a 100% coverage of the possible political trends/ideas, you fail to distinguish those that simply don't fall into either of the 2 categories. |

Re: do you agree with this news source bias chart?
I was going to say that "garbage" is a quality rating (a spectrum from "trash" to "treasure") and that "partisan" is an ideological rating (a spectrum from "skewed ideologically liberal" to "skewed ideologically conservative"), but the creators seem to have acknowledged this equivocation already and fixed their mistake:

Re: do you agree with this news source bias chart?
other thoughts:
Reason isn't particularly conservative or liberal -- its ideological bias skews libertarian. As such I think it belongs in the center, or perhaps center-right. It's bizarre to me that The Economist is anything but center. It's been an explicitly centrist publication for years. |
