The chart is pretty accurate. Only a Rightie would whine about it.
Only a liberal would put CNN in the center.
I agree with the layout of the of that chart for the X axis, though I think Brietbart has moved itself a bit beyond that batch that it's in and I'd move NPR a bit closer to where the WaPo is located. I'd put Vox over around the location of slate. And I wouldn't really put things like the Daily Show, Colbert Report, Rush, or Hannity on there; those are not "news" outlets, those are entertainment outlets that talk about the news.
On the flip side, I do like the one in the OP as it relates to the indepth nature of reporting. Because quality of the reporting matters almost more than the lean. I agree with next to nothing that Vox writes, but I'm at least apt to read that and consider it because it'll at least be a well presented and thought out piece. I feel similar, in terms of the well presented thing, with much that comes out of NRO. Where as when you get to the clickbait type sites, I don't care what lean you are, there's nothing of real value there.

CNN. "Better than not reading news at all."
No only a lefty would accept this nonsense!
Belief in charts like this is why Trump is President elect!
And why the left is still making up crazy excuses for Hillary losing the election.
Who ever put it together is completely clueless.
Perhaps the issue isn't the chart. Perhaps the issue is that right wingers tend to be further right than left wingers tend to be towards the left. If that is the case, then right wingers and left wingers will perceive the lean of each of those sources very differently.
So the following, according to the chart, are mainstream (minimal partisan bias) and meet high standards?

Such a rating is absolutely laughable and completely destroys the credibility of the chart, and whoever assembled it. Washington Post/New York Times = minimal partisan bias?
:lamo

It's inaccurate. CNN is hardly unbiased. Save us the bull****.
Haven't you noticed that to you every news source not telling you what you want to hear is biased to the Left?
CNN has never been considered unbiased.
I would argue that the opposite is actually true.
As a demonstration, here is study result of the ideological position of various news sources, many also appear in the above chart:
To arrive at the chart above the creators would have to have a fairly significant left lean to have the NYT fall in the middle, or they graded on a curve and selected the middle to be where most of the new agencies sat.
That chart is more realistic and accurate IMO.

THe average respondent is probably Right Leaning, given that we are a Center-Right nation with more and more people leaning Right now than Left. In fact, it could be argued that the Far Left is effectively dead while the Far Right is in ascension.
Um, no. The average respondent is clearly marked on that chart as being left of center.
I agree with this, Id say do your moves and then move MSNBC a little further left and Fox a little furth right and its a pretty good list.
Fox seems to be in the right place, IMO; basically an establishment RNC infomercial. i agree about MSNBC. it's basically liberal Fox, only not executed as well. it should occupy the same place on the left that Fox occupies on the right.
I agree they should occupy the same space left/right and I agree MSNBC does not execute as well, Fox is like the MJ of RNC infomercial and MSNBC is like the Kobe of DNC infomercial. But I would still nudge them both slightly further left and right, just slightly though. Like if 0 is center and they are both currently at +/- 5 (that line they are one, ipush them to a +/- 7 where only a 3rd of their name appears in the reputable lane lol Thats nitpicking I know but its how i feel.
This graphic is laughable at best. For one thing, mainstream is not the same thing as unbiased. Secondly, why is CNN rated so much lower than Fox and MSNBC?

The problem with that analysis is that people of different ideological leans will attend to different sources for different reasons. Liberals might attend to far right sources (or the opposite) in order to gather information or just to allow themselves to get angry. That's a major flaw in the above chart.
Interesting. I have never heard of any of the outlets in the Liberal utter garbage column but have heard of all the ones in the conservative utter garbage one.
