They will not accept that.

I think the fact that the sources fell into a bell curve is highly interesting...

moldyoldy

I did not notice that. Funny.

I think it lends some credence - - I'm sure you know how fond science is of bell curves...

moldyoldy

There is so much to say about bell curves and OPP.

More liberal BULLS**T !!!!!! CNN FAIR AND UNBIASED WHAT A JOKE

moldyoldy

I'm sure that you prefer fox which has been banned in the UK for their bias.

Look True, I was disappointed to see CNN was crossing the line into the ORANGE (unfair persuasion) category but, relative to the RED (nonsense) category where FN resides, the faux news station that most conservatives and right-wingers tune into is pretty much off my radar, even though I do listen to the broadcast on occasion, and I do read many links originating from them.

Crude name-calling doesn't really serve a good purpose. You must realize that the opposing side likely thinks the same of you - - but I think it's just classier to be more reserved instead of being combative and escalating to ugly clashes.

Thanks for the good chart. The chart has BBC on it, so I see it's not just U.S. sources of news. So I would add at least one more important news source to the chart: Al Jazeera. Within the borders of the U.S. we can get aljazeera.com. Al Jazeera's primary base is or was in the Middle East but it has lots of pieces by U.S. people in it. And it has a "US & Canada" section of news.

I usually am "Liberal" and "Progressive" in the political spectrum. What follows may be of interest to Liberals, Progressives, those interested in bias in the news, and those who sample all perspectives.

One of my favorite news sources is the KPFA radio station (FM 94.1) (kpfa.org) of Berkeley, California, which is one of the stations of the Pacifica Radio Network. http://pacificanetwork.org/ Some of the programs on it are "Democracy Now!" (hosted by Amy Goodman), "Guns and Butter", and "Counterspin"; and it also has good regular "News" broadcasts a few times per day.

Counterspin is FAIR's weekly radio show. "FAIR, the national media watch group, has been offering well-documented criticism of media bias and censorship since 1986." https://fair.org/about-fair/ The acronym FAIR stands for "Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting".

Aside from "news" outlets, another source of information which is valuable to me is the books of Warren Farrell, who used to be well-known as a feminist expressing women's perspectives. Mainstream feminists have rejected him ever since he started also expressing men's perspectives. He is probably the main person who would best understand both female perspectives and male perspectives, together. I've never heard him on KPFA. So, I think, the people who run KPFA are somewhat open-minded, and I love some of their programming, but even they are probably closed-minded when it comes to Warren Farrell.

If you would go to the link, there's an explanation for why Al Jazeera has been temporarily left off, and how/why they are reevaluating...

Al Jazeera has some good US news, but they have an Arab bent to ME news.

I have a Syrian friend, living in Iran, who listens to Al Jazeera, and we have discussed many times the AJ "bent" on the ME. We're talking an American citizen who also listens to CNN, however maintains a somewhat distorted view of the US because of AJ's reporting...

I was in the Philippines a few years back and the man foreign news was RT, Al Jazeera and fox. They are spreading more propaganda than everybody else.
