I first saw this chart probably like ten years ago. I remember I looked at the methodology and it was basically lets take a set of "media experts" from ostensibly different political viewpoints and have them rate each source on both factuality and on political bias.

It was immediately obvious to me that a self-proclaimed right-winger is extremely unlikely to rate a source as biased far-left but not misleading at all, and vice-versa for a self-proclaimed left-winger, so the methodology meant it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that we end up with a chart that nicely shows that the more factual reporting is, the more likely it will be directly in the center.
