Here is a current media bias chart from All Sides, which tracks this over time, using direct analysis and polls to determine where they fall on the political spectrum. I believe people gravitate to news sources that support their world view, it is human nature, and they will always feel those are "unbiased". I use NPR a lot for basic new, and I have a link to Reuters and I use a couple of German newspapers, both to keep my german at least ok and to get a pulse on international views. And in this, NPR is left leaning, which probably fits my views best right now.

So, where do you fall? Check out the news sources you use the most, and be honest. This is anonymous, so no reason to fluff it up. If you want, tell us which news sources you use, and why, and if you agree with the assessment here.

PLEASE KEEP THIS AS A DISCUSSION OF MEDIA BIAS AND OUR PERSONAL BIASES, NOT TO DISCUSS DIVERSE POLITCAL TOPICS. WE HAVE A LOT OF THREADS FOR THOSE ALREADY.

Since the Trump terror campaign I am guessing many of our right leaning posters are not very active anymore, so I am guessing this will show a heavy bias toward LL and HL, with a few C in the mix. I use Reuters and AP quite a lot for basic news, as in what happened, where, and what is ongoing. But I use NPR for more commentary and analysis, and that makes me LL. But mostly I like Ground News and click on a smattering of stuff from all over the spectrum, as I believe in challenging your beliefs and assumptions, and also in understanding the "other side", so to speak. But I do wish we could get a few right leaning folks to be intellectually honest in these discussion and break free of the dogma and admit all is not bliss in paradise right now. No idea why that is so hard.
