Reminder that charts & ratings of alleged bias in news are not, themselves, "objective" & should always be questioned. Some of the most popular have deeply flawed methodologies that yield some truly absurd (and harmful) "ratings" that exacerbate rather than diminish misconceptions about journalism.
