EDIT: Sorry to stir up an old hornet’s nest.

EDIT2: Commenters have some valid criticisms of MBFC. Even if there are flaws, I would like to celebrate all attempts at elevating the conversations we are having.

    Is this the same media bias checking bot that thinks a Murdoch media owned news site was left leaning?

      As a left-leaning Canadian, this seems crazy to me. There’s not even a place for me on this chart.

      It’s crazy how normalized right-wing extremism is. Well, it does explain the state of things in the US, though.

      I also don’t love that is has least biased in the center. Bias is a trait that is on an almost entirely separate axis.

        Yeah, as political compasses, in order to have some reasonableness, have left-right and authoritarian-libertarian, this needs another axis for bias. You can be a leftist organization that still reports on reality without bias. Being in favor of the status-quo is it’s own form of bias.
