    Who can forget Lenin's scathing critiques of capitalist imperialism in the pages of The New Yorker?

      No no you see Lenin is more right-wing than The New Yorker because he was an authoritarian tankie and horseshoe theory and all of that stuff

    Why is the Economist on lean left? What is this based on? General vibes? Font of their logos?

    just gotta shift all of these 5 columns to the right and you might be onto something.

    eh, Jacobin only needs a couple shifts to the right actually

      yeah, Jacobin is mostly fine. it's certainly left-leaning, and is explicitly socialist, even though I don't always agree with their takes.

      They’re probably thinking of Chris Cilizza when they say far left tbh.

    The original co-founders maintain majority ownership and control of AllSides LLC, with John Gable [Slight Right Bias] being the primary owner and investor.

      The AllSides audience is uniquely balanced 29% left, 42% center, 29% right (the average of two surveys on our website).

      So 29% "left" and 71% right. Uniquely balanced.

    Fun fact: The Epoch Times is run by the anti-CPC Chinese cult Falun Gong, who also run the performing arts propaganda show Shen Yun.

    CNN being left: I was at a restaurant to pick up a delivery, it's on but I can barely hear it.

    Fareed Zakaria is doing something, flashing videos of Reagan, and how great a president he was, then images of the Berlin wall coming down, then the last day the flag of the USSR was above a red square (:ussr-cry:) and saying how the USA was a beacon of freedom for the whole world, and then images of Soviet protestors with signs saying мир with doves, then it continued on with its drivel. Wonder why the only images of Russia in the 90s were ones of "hope". We're really taught fuck all about the tragedies that occurred then.

    But yeah, "left" CNN loves Reagan, liberal hero...

    Real Clear Politics as the center lmao, they regularly post Breitbart articles but because they'll occasionally post an article from CNN talking about how AOC is too far left they get a centrist label.
