I've told people repeatedly for years now not to just post links in this section without providing any discussion. I really shouldn't have to remind anyone of this and I really don't want to have to come into this section at all. Especially on a Sunday.

Newsweek is more of a leaning right publication rather than being centered. I see you have one of the New York tabloids up. The New York Post. They have it leaning right. It is more far right in both news and opinion. The other New York tabloid, The New York Daily News is on the other side of the spectrum being on the far left in news and opinion. Lastly the other paper in lower New York, Newsday is more centered.

Especially on a Sunday.

Speaking of Sunday ... A Joe Jackson classic. :)

I was posting Newsweek elsewhere thinking it was more right as well. In fact, that is why I went looking for their rating the list. The Post is a given on the right! I assumed @georges would appreciate the more right-leaning sources. What does it tell you when the Western Journal doesn't even make the list?

AP and NPR News have moved left?? That's disappointing.
NPR has always had a left-ward lean. It seems the right keeps drifting right which pushes more into the left column.

AP always seemed like they were just reporting facts. The only conclusion is that facts are leftward leaning per se.

Probably only because the illustration is so crowded. On that website, you can take the source individually and see what comes up.

The Western Journal is far right.

I edited my original post and explained why I posted the links which was to prove that Kamala got back to her statement about the ban on fracking and also that when an administration here (the biden harris administration) with such alow approval doesn't have any chances to be reelected

The funny part is that Trump’s approval rating was historically low in November 2020 which is why he lost!

Kamala Harris in 2024 from the article you posted: “I will not ban fracking. I did not as vice president. In fact, I cast the tie-breaking vote to open up more fracking leases.” What does her 2019 position have to do with the future? As JD Vance said “I’m focused on the future.”

US natural gas and crude oil production are at all-time highs. You can look up the facts.

Interesting theory but media bias fact check is also questionnable according to this source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Bias/Fact_Check#:~:text=A study published in Scientific,automatic fact-checking systems." I quote "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific. Also in 2018, a writer in the Columbia Journalism Review described Media Bias/Fact Check as "an armchair media analysis" and characterized their assessments as "subjective assessments [that] leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in". " Not really what I would consider as a source of truth especially for checking facts without any biases if were you.

You presented it as a source twice and now you are questioning it?

I am questionning Mediabiasfact check trustworthiness here not the Western Journal's one to be very transparent.I have never used left wing leaning media as sources and never will. I have also used the Washington Examiner and the Washington times.

Understood. You interjected the media bias check in the first place.

https://thehill.com/homenews/admini...lection-day-terror-attack-by-afghan-national/ Interesting article describing a situation that shouldn't be neglected, the fact that potential threats from radical islamic terrorists against american political people are existing. No sane and responsible american citizen has forgotten how the Biden Harris adminsitration let several Afghan refugees ushering into the US in 2021.

I loved Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Great film at Thanksgiving.
Candy's death was a tremendous loss in character comedy. I used to watch SCTV when it was first aired out here in the late 70s. Then it was just a 30-minute show. Oh, sorry. Back to the thread topic. Trump is a poopy pants with vile, putrid breath. May he lose the election, then disappear...lost on a remote island. The one Tom Hanks was on.

Very unlikely, those are not what are the statistics indicating and you may have a bitter taste like in 2016 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3182648/what-the-census-can-tell-us-about-swing-states. You remember how Clinton lost, let's hope you remember it well because you mustn't take anything for granted.
