Nice to see the BBC in the middle. In the UK both sides of the political spectrum moan that the BBC is biased against them so they must be doing something right.

As of late, I haven’t seen CNN as the most used source for those leaning left. Now you know why.

CNN is just left on the second chart, I guess it depends on the chart maker and his bias.

Wrong! It depends on the latest wapper the site has told and then moved to the appropriate category.
I am just not sure how often they update it.

Their methodologies differ so results differ. There are at least 3 other bias checkers who have their own methods. Do a deep dive into how each of them make their assessments and see which one matches your biases.

Yes, in the second chart...the older chart, posted by Triple, CNN shows just a little left. The more recent graphic, posted by Kraken, shows CNN on the full left.
To me it reflects an accurate change. CNN has moved farther left over the last couple of years. Even their hard news people have moved.

Sounds like a good way to judge centrist opinions!

Not in the second chart posted. It looks like 'Lean Left' to me. Who can believe this chart?

Nice for you to see maybe. But BBC should not be in the middle. The UK is a Left leaning country and so is their news network. PBS, Newsweek, and Axios should not be in the middle either. Is there anyone who wants to debate that?

Just shows how much you know about the UK, a Conservative government has been in power for 11 years and in the recent elections the left wing labour party was absolutely hammered.

You are not as smart as you look. Conservative for the UK is not the same as Conservative over here. Here it would be called Left of center. Their conservative party strongly supports unionism and embraces many ideals of democratic socialism.

I guess you forgot which post you were replying to...Kraken's, with the first chart.
No biggie.
The second chart was from several years ago...it may have been accurate then.
No longer.

Sorry old chap you have no idea whatsoever. So Margaret Thatcher was a left wing leader as was Churchill. Your concept of socialism is seriously flawed.

That Foto's concept of socialism is seriously flawed should come as no surprise to anyone.....
