Wikipedia:
"In 2018 the Columbia Journalism Review questioned the thoroughness of the Media Bias Chart and similar initiatives, stating that "the five to 20 stories typically judged on these sites represent but a drop of mainstream news outlets' production".[10]
News sources that were rated poorly on the Media Bias Chart have been critical of the chart. Alex Jones, the founder of right-wing conspiracy theory site InfoWars, said Ad Fontes' chart represented the "dying dinosaur media's extreme liberal bias" after the chart classified InfoWars as "nonsense damaging to public discourse".[2] InfoWars responded with a chart of their own, putting themselves as "independent" and representing "freedom" while labeling news sources like the Associated Press as "tyranny" and "state-run corporate/foreign influences"; InfoWars's chart was widely criticized by journalists on Twitter"
The criticism does have a point about such small samples to grade with but it doesn't take a rocket scientist or a garbage man to know InfoWars is a steaming pile of dog shit.
It's interesting that NBC News and CNBC are not included on the chart but MSNBC is. While The Hill is relatively neutral and reliable. But of course MSNBC,Fox News, and Fox Business are in the dumpster.
