   Assuming this classification isn't itself biased, I'm exposed mostly to news reported by democratic-leaning sources 😲

   I don't even recognize several logos on the right-wing side...

     We all believe that *others* are victims of polarized media, but we all are.

     @watson_works I wonder where Hacker News would stand on that chart...

     I guess all over the place 😂

     @codewiz As long as you know who you are allowing to influence you…

     The New York Times and The Washington Post have almost identical logos (the Gothic uppercase T).

     I could tell them apart on the chart only by their political affiliation.

     I sometimes use these resources for #media #bias (not sure about their own accuracy, though):

     @mcol @tripu It's hard to tell the difference, though. I often watch CNN's reports of the war in Ukraine, and they always invite these retired US generals who pepper their commentary with anti-Russia and anti-Putin comments.

     I don't mind Putin being called a dictator, but CNN isn't making a big effort to separate news reporting from the opinions of their experts 😂

     @codewiz @tripu Cool chart indeed. Should there, or should there not, be a distinction between 'balanced' in terms of just reporting news, and 'centrist' in terms of expression opinion? Perhaps that is illustrated by the y axis I guess
