This chart brought to you by the Pew Research Center.

CNN is just as leftwing as TrueAnon

Yup, all media can be split into left and right leaning. And golly gee the left and right are just about evenly distributed, because both sides are equally extreme and need to be avoided! But not quite. The left is, of course, more extreme.

Oh, and all that crisis actor stuff that just got successfully sued into oblivion for isn't inaccurate or fabricated info. It's just misleading

"Of course the center is the most reliable, facts are what WE say they are. If we didn't report on it, it's obviously not a fact, tankie."

I can't believe that the new TrueAnon CEO, Rachel Jake, has taken the pod so far to the right. I guess that softball AOC interview should have been a bigger warning sign. They didn't ask her any tough questions whatsoever!

This isn't even fun to dunk on anymore it's just sad. Joe Rogan being centrist? Union busting barstool sports being LEFT of Rogan? This is basically just someone vomiting pictures of random media outlets onto a canvas and calling it research. I wonder if I could get an AI art generator to do better. I think I'll try

Edit: I tried, I couldn't. It did generate some funny stuff but it clearly has never seen this chart. Sad.

You heard it here first, folks - Ad Fontes says Maoism is center-left. We're gonna remove the landlords any day now, everybody!

noted centre-left podcast TrueAnon

Thank goodness I now have a media bias rating for my favorite news outlet, Neil deGrasse Tyson's Startalk podcast.

There's so many stupid things in this infographic, it's hard to know where to start. Maybe at the famously moderate centrist, Joe Rogan

TYT is to the left of TrueAnon. I want MSNBC to give a show like they did with Cenk.

I hate the whole 'centrist', 'left leaning', 'right leaning' crap.

You either enable the left, or the right.

Pro capitalist, billionaire owned CNN isn't centrist or left-leaning and it's stupid to pretend otherwise.

Politics isn't some spectrum and you can't be a moderate racist

Labeling RBN and JD as hyper-partisan leftists is inaccurate. They are both anti-vax, RFK stans who most recently believe the fascist Donald Trump is preferable to Joe Biden. As much as I am against neoliberals, that take is not one of the "left"

This is the funniest chart they've put out yet

I would have bet my life on the TrueAnon icon placement being a bit...

Edit: This confirms it...we're all libs

Oh my fucking god these dweebs used scrorecards and wrote up a whole ass formula for this didn't they.

Okay so they dunk on both the Democrats and Republicans? +1 Left Bias, +1 Right Bias. Uh oh, they just used reasoning to make a conclusion instead of just "stating the facts" tsk tsk -1 Truthiness. If we divide the factual content density by the fallacy tendency coefficient, and take the derivative of the political bias slope...well obviously Trueanon is to the right of CNN and less factual than the NY Post!

Dorks who are impressed by this shit are just Advanced Stats nerds except they're using their vapid understanding of media criticism rather than sports to be smug about how smart and objective they are.

Love how Jimmy Dore is left of literal Trotskyists.

I only consume unbiased, centrist news like the True Anon podcast

Ah yes famously neutral and non political UK state media

Black Agenda Report being the furthest left

Settlers right yet again. But seriously, they're the real deal. They platform a lot of Black organizers of the Black Radical Tradition, which makes the almost-certainly white people in charge of these shitty "media bias" sites awfully uncomfortable. And I really want to see how they feel about something like Hood Communist, another great website where you can hear what Black radicals and communists actually think instead of what paternal white losers believe is best for Black people.

Reliable sources:

I love that they took the time to rate IGN. That's so funny.

This graph is mostly unreadable, but at a glance I don't see any other video game sites on there.

Even looking at this from the perspective of a lib it's wrong. They put CNN to the left of Al Jazeera?

I need to go check out this Black Agenda Report because if Infowars isn't "most extreme" material for the right wing media I need to see what "most extreme" for left wing media looks like. My best guess is they must be calling for 200 years of white chattel enslavement by black descendants of enslaved people.

Like, is the contention of this graph that it's possible to be even more extreme right wing than Infowars?
