How biased is your news source? You probably won’t agree with this chart

If you look at this chart and make sure that your "extreme" resources are in the middle, you may be just a part of the problem annoying the United States.

"In the past, fact reports were posted on all night's news programs nationwide, local night's news programs, and front pages of printed newspapers," the patent creator Vanessa Otero said It is. "But many people now believe that the sources of" news sources "are actually dominated by analysis and opinion. "

She released the first version of the chart in 2016 and has been updated several times since then. In the past year, thousands of high school and university educators have become viral by using persuasive visuals. She said that she was "shocked" by everyone's attention and still received a request every day.

"I think both extremes are very toxic and harmful to the country," she explained to MarketWatch. "These extremes come from people's worst instincts, such as fear and tribalism, and they take advantage of people's confounding bias."

Clearly, for many conservatives, Carter Page Hometown, Fox News explains this generation of "Edward R. Muro" without a bounded area. Any business. And the fact that CNN is close to the neutral zone will definitely frustrate the trump fans.

Then there is the Info Wars that Otero believes is "a meaningless mess of public discourse". After charts first emerged, Infowars responded with one of the following:

Infowars, operated by Alex Jones, says that this chart is an example of "extreme liberal bias of dying dinosaur media dying," unjustly "demonizing" independent media. It is just one example of how Infowars demonstrates its independence.

"You have only a few resources that you think are in the middle, but if they do not have the right side or the left side, or if all of them are above and below you may be on the wrong orbit "Otero said. Update

If you read this and say "Yes, those other news sources are skewed, not mine", you may be blinded by your own prejudice. If the sources of news agree what you agree - what supports your personal opinion - then you will accept it with superficial value without admitting prejudice. This is an example of confirming prejudice. Only news that supports your opinion will be accepted, and news that can not be used will be ignored. We must critically think about all the news, especially the news we most agree with. Stop and ask a question: Is this true on experience or is it true? And: Is this fake or just wanting to be a fake?

Even if you pretend that there is no prejudice or prejudice in a news source, there is no profit. It only dazzles the actual prejudice. It did not read other news sources as it does not match your political beliefs, so it seems to you that "biased" will not make you a flash newsreader. A well-known, democratic citizen. Since we are always living in a world connected via social media, we need to get rid of the concept that we no longer need to work for the news we get. Even if you focus on all the news organizations you can think of on Twitter, you will only get a snapshot of what they cover. If you focus only on news that matches your beliefs, I miss valuable information.
