I am so sick of everything getting politicized.

13. Somewhere out there in cyberland

there's a nifty chart that tries to rate media sources large and small by left/right bias.

A few tend to be close to the center. Many of the "tends right" sources here are ranked left-of-center on that chart. Seems about right.

It's not always what's said--often it's what's *not* said that is the bias. That's a lot harder to detect, partial quotes, funny things out of contexts, things that are quoted accurately but put in a setting where their meaning's a bit changed.

Most people assume others are much like them. Most don't typically assume they're anything but "moderate"--perhaps moderate Democrats or moderate liberals, but they're moderates. Those that disagree tend to be extremists.

Otherwise the media hostility bias holds reasonably well.
