This chart is ridiculous. If you think getting your news from NYT is the bias equivalent of getting it from Fox News, then I don't know what to tell you.

Also, note the fine print at the bottom.  This chart appears to based on surveys of regular Americans about what they *think* the bias of these sources are.  The thing is: the average NYT reader is highly educated.  Their assessment that Fox News is right-biased is objectively correct.  The average FoxNews viewer (which includes some insane percentage of Americans, as it is the most viewed news source in the country) is not highly educated. The fact that they are screaming "the NYT is propaganda!" does not make it true.  But it does land the NYT is the liberal bias column in this chart, however.

That you would post this chart shows, well, your bias.  [/quote]
