I like how fox news doesn't contain misleading info according to this chart

🚨MIGRANT CARAVAN ALERT🚨

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 33 points 5 days ago

It's for that accurate reporting on the white genocide in South Africa

How do these people know about Rev Left Radio

Congrats Breht you made it

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 42 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

If you had told me last time we had a MBFC chart posted that in 10 years Chapo would be dropped and Rev Left added I'd call you a liar.

They really are washed smdh

E) Most telling part of MBFC's biases is putting Meidas Touch further left of current affairs? I'm no fancy lad defender but surely the DNC guest speakers are at least further to the right of him.

He sort of acknowledged the uptick of attention that he and other similar leftist outlets have been getting recently in the New Red Scare episode.

Reactionary capitalist rags New York Post and Fox News considered "more reliable" than any socialist news source

lol

Also Washington Post "skews left"? The news agency owned by a billionaire that constantly runs defense for Zionism? What the fuck even is this chart lmao

Yeah, but it avoids using slurs while doing so

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

And chuds somehow want us to believe that libs are some kind of revolutionary, pro-killing chud force that controls everything.

THE LIBS LOVE CHUDS MORE!!!

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 61 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

They can't seriously think that RevLeft is more factually incorrect than the Joe Rogan Report? This has to be bait lol.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 23 points 5 days ago

They have never listened to a single episode of RevLeft. Or most of what's on here tbh.

[–] Euergetes@hexbear.net 62 points 5 days ago (2 children)

it doesn't have the podcast the-podcast

this is an irrelevant heap

[–] AutoVomBizMarkee@hexbear.net 33 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

By their β€œtruth” standard, absolute top of the chart. By how they would perceive them (because they do truth) absolute left of the chart

[–] Euergetes@hexbear.net 26 points 5 days ago

too based for the chart, if they zoomed out more though everything else would look like a grain of sand

It should be a giveaway that this is unfiltered ideology because every step away from "middle" requires it to drop on the news value & reliability rating. But I guess people just think bell curves are true no matter what?

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 29 points 5 days ago

They probably believe in another bell curve us-foreign-policy

You can tell the person that made this brags about being an American moderate to everyone they talk to in public.

Can't stress this enough, this is one dudes hobby project

[–] JohnBrownsBussy2@hexbear.net 33 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Looks like the Chapo boys are no longer relevant enough to be on the chart.

Hasan getting beaten by Breakthrough News and Rev Left Radio

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 25 points 5 days ago

Uh... Democracy Now? Hello? Why is Amy Goodman not on here at all?

Love that Red Menace is on here and also basically at factual.

Hate that it's below fox News somehow in "factual".

This is such a farce

[–] HoiPolloi@hexbear.net 30 points 5 days ago (3 children)

WSWS is considered both less left and more reliable than BreakThrough News. Not a good look for the Trots.

i think it's weird how breakthrough obscures its affiliation with PSL

Lmao barstool is middle

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 27 points 5 days ago

Interesting how since Fox News started occasionally taking jabs at Trump, they've shot up massively in Lib credibility.

This chart is almost a work of art, some of the most consistently wrong ghoulish sources designed only to manipulate are miles ahead in truthiness points than any actual leftist news source. It's almost kind of impressive how they put sources that are extremely biased, but in a pro-America way right at the top.

I do wonder if the people making this sort of thing are true believers or if they are coldly calculating this stuff and trying to get people to be more "centrist" and knowing full well this is just designed to obfuscate the truth and get people to investigate less.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Of course they left out majority report again. And really hasan equal on the left to Joe Rogan? Joe should be in same place as Alex Jones.

Wait is that onion Alex Jones or actual Alex Jones

The selection here is so strange to me. Rev Left is somehow on here, but not a more mainstream left-liberal outlet like Zeteo? No hate, I just can't believe they have that much reach. I feel like the world would be a little better than it is if Breht had the same platform as Joe Rogan. And a whole bunch of outlets I've never even heard of before. Alex Jones still being listed? Is he still running his show elsewhere or something? Deeply unserious, etc.

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 29 points 5 days ago

it's a mainstream media hit list, not a serious measurement

the whole purpose of this chart is to juxtapose the current targeted individuals against The Narrative

[–] Maturin@hexbear.net 23 points 5 days ago

Fucking bell curve of course

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Thank you, Ad Fontes Media, I now know where to get my news

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

DO NOT get your news from the hartmann report, Thom Hartmann is the worst kind of boomer lib masquerading as a progressive

He spent 2023 and all of 2024 staying dead silent on the genocide while praising Genocide Joe and the democratic party every single day, now that Trump is in office he suddenly recognizes it as a genocide and pretends to support Palestine (while still condemning Hamas of course) tho somehow still doesn't find as much time to cover it as he does ukkkraine

Yeah he's a HUGE ukkkraine and russiagate guy, literally accuses republicans of working for Putin on a regular basis

He was a fucking brandon dead ender denying there was anything wrong with him mentally even after that fucking debate where his brain leaked out of his ear in front of everybody

I hate listen to this piece of shit while driving for work and have been planning a huge effort post on him, hopefully culminating in some kind of campaign of bullying, trolling and harassment through calling in to his show en mass every week until we literally get him to quit (ideally turn his own parasocial boomer audience against him by making them realize he's a fake progressive who's been lying to them)

The fact that it's ranked so poorly on this chart vindicates my love of RevLeft Radio. Breht's philosophy episodes are top notch stuff.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

bottom middle is so fucking funny, making everything up in the pursuit of perfect centrism is a hell of a vibe

I am surprised Red Menace is on there and a lot of larger and more mainstream podcasts aren't

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Deprogram not even on there

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

No Trashfuture? No Podcasting Is Praxis? No Corner SpΓ€ti?

What kind of yank wank is this?

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 17 points 5 days ago

kinda surprised to see Al Jazeera near the top middle

They have all these other podcasts on their, but where is the Trillbillies? I need to know if I can trust the Chollo Antichrist reporting!

[–] Renin@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They seem to have misplaced one, can anyone tell them to fix it? It's not even on the chart.

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

Wonkette

Lmao.
