Forbes being middle left is the perfect illustration of the Overton window theory.
Same for how little Fox News is to the right.
Yeah these ratings are literally just based on the opinions of three analysts at a time from the left, right and center which are then averaged together. They’re obviously going to be biased by their particular country, culture and upbringing, both in how they label themselves and how they rate the different articles.
Just for reference, in the expanded chart that I just shared they put Russel Brand and Joe Rogan in the center and Jimmy Dore on the
rightfar left. These analysts’ view of politics is beyond skewed.
Needs more JPEG. I could almost make out some of those logos.

That’s from November of 2020, not that all that much has changed…
Not knowing shit about american media, I’m both surprised and disturbed how much worse it still seems to get after Fox News.
Fox News should be way further down on the bottom right.
Compared to the other stuff on there, I wouldn’t say so unless they move everything in the neighborhood of Daily Wire as well. It really does get that much worse.
In reality, everything from the New York Times rightward should actually be stretched about one section over to the right. There are very few publications that are legitimately in the “skews right” camp these days; there’s just no money in it. Outlets in that section are vilified by right wingers for being leftists (even though they’re not) and they’re ignored by the left for being conservative partisans (which is accurate).
That said, yes; Fox, having changed very little about their programming, is now one of the least partisan right-wing sources. (Even though they’re incredibly right-wing.) The Overton Window has shifted drastically.
Hats off to Barstool Sports for managing to create low information content that both sides can appreciate.
They put the daily wire and daily mail above the decent reporting of Rolling Stone. This chart is bullshit.
And the right wing rag that is the Wall Street Journal is right in the middle.
The lack of any deviations above the curve, is an indication of the flawed nature of the analysis.
It certainly implies to me that only centrist views are correct, which I’d push back against.
I mean it could also be an indicator of people’s inability to supply high quality left or right leaning new.
Wait, Pew is in the middle? They are funded by the templeton foundation. I’ve also noticed they also do sketchy things with publications, like what they have on their homepage is not the same as the published, I assume peer-reviewed, article. They seem to keep the exagerations on the website, but in articles they tone it down. If they are on the top, that seems like a low bar.
I can’t find CNN or Reuters on this chart. Can someone help me?
Nor Politico, Economist, The Guardian. But at least we have Tom’s Guide here in case you wondered if Tech guides have a bias…
I’m disappointed they left out The Onion
In the middle on the bottom… LoL… They equally make fun of everyone.
They’re obviously left leaning, they just don’t tow the line, or hold back when valid criticism is deserved.
The Guardian is on there, 2nd Row, 5th Column. They just used a very small G logo for it so it’s hard to spot.
Can’t find Reuters though.
Guardian is there, blue G just left of centre top middle
CNN(tv) is at: (“skews left”, yellow(high)).
CNN(web): (“skews left”, green(mid)).I’m not seeing Reuters or it’s logo.
Fox News is less biased and more reliable than MSNBC, apparently
No Infowars? There’s a great spot for it in the bottom right corner.
So far down it didn’t make the chart I guess
Bellingcat does amazing work.
WIBC is a news/talk radio station in Indianapolis. It’s a combination of local and syndicated shows. I have no idea why it’s on that chart.
As a local, I was very curious to see that on the chart, too. Bizarre.
Here’s another version including web-based shows and podcasts:
Joe Rogan is not that in the middle anymore.
Why is Jimmy dore on the left?
Seeing the Redscare on there made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
Should have Hasanabi in the top left.
wait they tryna tell us fucking FOX and FORBES are reliable, centrist outlets?
ahahahahahahsgshahaha
Im not shocked by any of them. I think tech dirt should be a little higher and the verge a little lower but otherwise makes sense
