It’s not even centrist. It’s straight up conservative. All the papers of record with good reputations are listed as at least left leaning. It’s meant to feed into the idea that mainstream media is biased.
And it’s meant to make very conservative stuff look mainstream. For example the Ayn Rand Institute gets a center right lean. The same rating as the New York Times on center left lean. It’s very well done and you wouldn’t notice it if you didn’t take a close look.
Yep, definitely forgot to list this complaint. Frankly a paper with a good reputation having a left lean would seem obvious to me — the right abandoned reality a long time ago.
I think it makes more sense if you start from the supposition that centrists in America are just right-wingers who still remember how to be ashamed of their batshit views when they’re in public.
