... a source that I thought most would recognize from encountering it while checking for bias, but it is not a requirement to recognize it because the point stands on the two diagrams. MediaBiasFactCheck.com is very reputable. You want to call them BullShit? You want to call their analysis of Daily Caller BullShit too? Did you try the simplest search: daily caller bias. I guess you didn't because MediaBiasFactCheck.com's analysis is the top result on one big engine and the fourth one on the other.

Bias is not the same as Facts. That's why I included both diagrams. Some sites are high factual reporting but biased based on the selection of stories and which facts they expose or concentrate on. Hard right bias is worse than Mixed factual reporting, hence my title "Mixed at Best". The words "at best" mean that it is usually worse than that. Not bad enough for you?

Read the title of the Mixed image. It says Fact Based Reporting. In other words, Daily Caller get facts wrong frequently, either by sloppiness or on purpose.

Read the arrow. It says hard Right bias. That's not right enough for you or something? Your post attacks my title without regard to the body of the post.

Why are you attacking me? Why are you attacking my post which is entirely consistent with your post and my post backs up the OP which is also entirely consistent with your post?

WTF?

Your anger is misplaced. You were wrong to direct it at me. Time to climb down. Send it somewhere else. And familiarize yourself with MediaBiasFactCheck.com if you are going to attack members about media bias.
