[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4889397, member: 63706"] Oh, I don't find those things to be credible anyway. Labeling media organizations on a political spectrum is absurd. Everyone's own opinion is, ultimately, all that matters to anyone. If you accept this graph as is, all that means is you agree with the views of the person who put it together, or you are deferring to their judgment. Either is fine, but both are fundamentally meaningless. The question is, who can ever be truly objective? My goal is not to balance my intake of different media, my goal is to not take anything for granted, particularly that what I'm being told is true. I'm skeptical of any new or unvetted information, even if it confirms my bias, because I don't dismiss the notion that someone could be trying to exploit a particular bias in order to mislead people, or force a particular agenda.
