lol...I decided to check out a few news sources this morning on the Media Bias fact check site and found myself rather amused.
First, they call the Economist "least biased," and they plop it dead-center on the left-right continuum.
Well, hate to say but the Economist leans right. It's factual for sure, but their bias is always pro-business, which by definition is Right.
They seem to be on target with the Wall Street Journal, calling it to the right of center-right.
And, they nail it with Fox, pushing it toward the extreme Right.
But, they totally blow it on CNN, WaPo and NYT.
Left-Center? Hmmm....I see more Center-Right in those pages.
Washington post is not left-center. They are dead center. Certainly they are more center than the Economist.
CNN is not "Left." How on earth can a source that allows Lou Dobbs, Kellyanne Conway, Kayleigh McEnany, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck and god knows how many other far right personalities launch their careers on their airwaves be "Left"? And, that is not even counting all the Far Right "contributors" they give voice to who say the damnedest of stupid things unchallenged on the station or in their op ed section.
CNN is slightly Left of Center at most.
