https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/cnn/
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fox-news/

Showing both with a very strong bias toward their respective side, and fox marginally more biased than cnn, but generally in the same ballpark.

I already posted them earlier but I'll say them again. She was absolutely wrong to say that and people in power should be more careful when calling out individuals. You have a lot more flexibility when you call out institutions i.e. a police department. Calling out individuals should have the highest scrutiny.

Sure let’s look at a bias analyzer, the most authoritative one that I’ve seen other sources point to.

https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-ratings

Both CNN and Fox are ranked identical on their respective sides. Everyone should click that link and try their hardest and be selective about the sources they expose themselves to. I’ve long been a fan of wsj and Reuters


OAN and National Review in the same slot. Buzzfeed News, Vox and NYT opinion in with Jacobin and Democracy Now?

This is a list for people who've never read 80% of the outlets present.

I subscribe to WSJ, NYT, WaPo, and The Atlantic. I follow many perspectives on Twitter(everyone except Trump cultists and truly radical progressives).

The list is silly. There should be another axis measuring the seriousness of the outlet. In that case, maybe National Review and OAN could be in the same column. The Dispatch would be at the top of their sorry competitors.

It's twitter. It's a cesspool of far-leftists who think anything done outside their ideological dogma must've been done by a white supremacist. I pay no attention to their "opinions".

The list is according to their algo and is reinforced by tens of thousands of community reviewers essentially saying yay or nay on their assement.

Is it perfect? Probably not, but for sure beats your warped perception that cnn isn’t biased.

National Review is significantly more serious. You can actually get some intelligent right-wing analysis from there. I'm fine with very biased sources such as Mother Jones and National Review because often times it's a values thing. As long as you're factual and open about your bias, I think that's fine.

It's clearly measuring ideological slant.

The list largely confirms to what I'd expect. Perhaps you simply need to expose yourself to a wider range of media.

How far left or right you are is not necessarily how biased you are, and the left/right spectrum is unsatisfactory to begin with.

CNN is extremely biased in favor of swampy establishment democrats and the general left and against Trump, but isn't necessarily the frontrunner for biggest Stalin/Marx water carrier(aka not the furthest left).

The link OTV posted is a pretty solid guideline for identifying bias within those limited parameters.

while i may disagree with the meme you posted (which is fine, agree to disagree),


yeah agree to disagree is fine. not everyone gets or appreciates all dark or edgy humor, but i thought it was interesting enough to post.

Very true.
