I don't know how good this media-bias chart is, but I find it interesting, if not an actual meaningful artifact that there is a bit of a gap on the right side of the chart between a "little Right" and "a little Unreliable" to "very Right and Unreliable". The left seems to be more of a continuum. With "all sources" and "all articles" turned on I found an interesting gestalt. I have some beef with the way they characterize Left/Right and Reliable/Unreliable and the way some outlets are rated, but I'm (mostly) trusting that they have a methodology that is at least transparent if not one I fully agree with. But I haven't bothered to drill down much.
