Yet it's a better position then your FOX news or your "INFOWARS"

Yeah these are mine. G2, you must not read my post.

That just it I do, and you deny ,then you quote or agree with them.

Naw. I watch or quote neither. I may linked a article from fox.com here and there but not a lot.

I read cnn.com, New York Times, Chicago tribune, and mostly richmond Times dispatch. I generally don’t watch national tv news...to biased and opinion based and not fact based. I’ll watch the local news cause we got good programming here.

I’ve tried hard to read Washington post...but unfortunately they are complete garbage and the should be printed on snow flakes. There take on identity politics generally make me laugh...their quality of journalism has taken a nosedive the last several years. They got a lotta problems internally and it shows.

If I want to get the facts on the economy, Wall Street journal is where bosses go to get it. If I want fake news on the economy I’ll go to cnn money section and laugh repeatedly.

Well , according to that chart ,I'm not the only one that thinks you're wrong.

Personal bias trumps all, no pun intended

I agree ,evidently Cred does not as per post #519

Well , according to that chart ,I'm not the only one that thinks you're wrong.As i noted the author of theblog acknowledged a liberal skew though she attempted to be neutral. I think the biggest change a similar chart from a conservatively skewed person would be cnn/fox. Meaning fox likely would move up and right one block and cnn would move down and left one block.

The blog author acknowledged that a better chart could be made by multiple overlays.

I still think the fake news/bias mantra is way overblown especially since Trump started calling anything and everything fake news. People now use it as a crutch to discount news they don’t agree with. Of course you don’t want to rely on one source for all of your news, that’s just common sense. And there will always be some people not capable of critical thinking in order to sort through all the noise.

People act like back in the good old days news wasn’t biased and it was always just the facts. That’s BS. We just have a larger volume of information coming at us today and it’s 24/7 crap to sift through.I think its wrong to conflate fake news with media bias. There are examples of both occurring more frequently.

Media bias is more or less a generalized acknowledgement of what that chart attempts to convey. That every outlet has some level of leaning and some level of fact vs opinion.

Fake news is much more insidious in that it attempts to distort singular facts into a false narrative. It puts a facade of journalistic integrity while pushing a dogmatic underlying message

Well , according to that chart ,I'm not the only one that thinks you're wrong.

Wrong about what exactly?
