Well it's no surprise that the news outlets that are neutral are more based on fact than opinion and propaganda

I do like to say that in some people think that the Republicans and the Democrats are perfect substitutes for the right and left wing. Which is not the case. While Republicans are right wing, Democrats are not necessarily left wing on everything. They definitely align with capitalism on many issues and promote people like Hillary Clinton who represent interests of capitalist corporations.
CNN is definitely less near the neutral mark when it comes to their reporting on both the parties. Even if their position may be valid for the original OP question. I mean CNN may not be very left leaning but they definitely very strongly lean towards Democrats.

It's interesting they say FOX is "hyper partisan right" and doesn't just skew right. FOX claims to be unbiased, not an organ of the Neo-Conservative movement. And they do have liberal commentators. I also think it's debatable whether Neo-Cons are actually right wing. Fox's NBA coverage is good. Although I do not often listen to political talks. I would say they are biased towards right though not hyper biased though.

Seems fair and balanced.

I agree, makes me wonder why people claim that the media is all far left.

After a quick look there is one pretty glaring flaw as it puts CNN as more 'fair' than Fox News which just ain't the case as CNN is Fake News. sure, I understand CNN is democrat and Fox News is republican but you can only push so far before things get out of hand and in this regard I think Fox News is closer to fair than Fake News CNN for sure. also, that chart claims Fox News is "extreme/unfair interpretations of the news" but I think that's more true of CNN (and the like) than of Fox News and I imagine I am not the only one who would claim this. CNN has pretty much no credibility with a lot of people. but with all of that said... I imagine it would be difficult to get someone who's not biased making those lists. so almost no matter who makes the list, it will be flawed to some degree. Feologild Oakes Because the mainstream media pretty much is when you look at the major news channels etc as it seems Fox News is pretty much the only one on the right. it's pretty safe to say the mainstream media is largely left (it's just a question of how much left they are) where as Fox News is probably damn near the only one on the right as far as major news channels go etc. only those on the left won't be able to see how biased the media is towards the left, pretty much.
basically those on the left are pretty much anti-Trump at all cost, the hell with the truth. God forbid they say something decent about him once in a while. lol

The more partisan and lesser quality ones are more likely to be blogs or ran by an individual, while the higher quality ones are more mainstream.
