I'd never heard of Natural News. Just checked it out. Top stories:
  • TREASON: Left-wing media attempting a “soft coup” in America by hyperventilating over self-contrived Russian conspiracy fabrication
  • The next American Civil War begins on January 20… Second Amendment patriots may be called on to defend the Republic against left-wing terrorists
  • When it comes to fake news, the U.S. Government is the biggest culprit
Um, I think it's a bit misplaced on the chart.

CNN below USA Today? Ouch!

I've never heard of Natural News either. As far as CNN, I've never thought of it as Centrist, but credibility is lacking is true. I guess that's what happens when you collude with one side or the other and try to pass a debate off as impartial and real.

Yea I think CNN, HuffPost, MSNBC, NY Times, Slate and Vox are hyperpartisan Liberal at this point. HuffPost pretty much employs 15 yr old girls from all the tweets and articles I see. The NY Times has lost all credibility as a political news source. I've found Reuters and AP to be the most balanced.

I admit not checking out NPR in awhile, but it was pretty clearly left when I listened to it in the past. I'm surprised to see it as center.

I listen to it off and on. I would say that the commentaries can be left-leaning, but the news is reported pretty non-partisan if you ask me. Much different than MSNBC or FOX (and CNN for that matter). They certainly aren't doing anything sensationalized, which is a huge plus in my book.

I think that chart is cute but I disagree with several of its placements. NYT the tiniest bit left of center? It deserves to be farther left than that. I like NYT and think they generally have good quality journalism, but they have a clear liberal lean.
