They got WSJ pretty wrong! I'd put it to the right of the Economist.

Good stuff, and they really hit the nail on the head. For me those sources in the center are what I go to for quick no nonsense news. Huffington Post and Fox News are good reads for entertainment ;D
This is perfect. Where is this from?

There's no such thing as a media "brand". It is a media "company" or "outlet" or "organization". It is NOT a brand.
Not necessarily. Many are different brands owned by one company.

Good chart. I like it when these things get mapped.
I dont agree with a couple of the classifications but thats OK as I take in several news sources in my daily read.
Thanks for sharing.
I was watching a report on the news the other day and they were interviewing the editor-in-chief of a newspaper (I think it was in West Virginia, but I cannot remember the paper - and I could be completely wrong). But he was saying that people don't want to read news anymore; that they prefer to read what someone thinks about an issue. People now just want to read stories that support their worldview - fewer and fewer people just want to read the facts and figure it out for themselves.
The only one of these sites I read frequently is HuffPo (well, other than the actual news sites). Sometimes it's fun to read a rant or whatever - but it's no way to learn about the world.

I'm inclined to agree. But I don't think this is including editorial stance. If that were true, the WSJ would be down around Breitbart and the Daily Caller.
BBC, npr, Washington Post, New York Times, NBC, ABC, AP, Reuters, CNN -- *all* listed as presenting minimal partisan bias?
Outrageously warped take.
There's no way CNN is more "sensational or clickbait" than other TV networks. Probably less so than either MSNBC or Fox News who are much higher up on the chart.

I agree - the BBC tends to have a Conservative bias. I can't really comment on the others, as I don't read them. But I read and watch the BBC daily.

"Minimal" doesn't mean the same as "no".

Definitely needs tweaking, as a few are charted oddly.
Its also interesting in how people perceive these outlets.
Also some outlets report certain news types better than others, even with "bias". In some cases its that "bias" that motivates them journalistically. In some cases it blinds them.
I have been circulating this chart widely among friends and acquaintances, it is amazing in the diversity of perspective it generates.
In summary, no one it seems even knows who those "far-left" sites were. Many asked me where was the DailyKos?
Almost all of them think CNN is mislabeled. The Center mainstream groupings were all challenged by everyone for various reasons.
Some were insulted that HuffPost was not considered journalistic, while others said they didn't care where Fox News landed.
All in all, it was a great conversation starter and a great way to hear how people perceive the media.

The problem with the CNN website is that many of the articles they are passing off as "news" are opinion pieces or clickbait. They do have articles tagged opinion but they also have obvious opinion articles that are not tagged as such. When you do get actual news articles they are good and what I would consider neutral when it comes to liberal or conservative leaning. I can understand the clickbait ranking.
