what a terrible chart
curious to hear juice's critique as well.
first of all, the liberal-conservative dichotomy is limited, but we can work with that
the y-axis spectrum of "quality" is trying to measure more than one dimension: it is trying to measure accuracy, reporting style, and completeness all on one line. For example, an outlet can both report facts and be selective; it could offer complex analysis and also be misleading. The Y-axis tries to mash up too many variables.
And then it's just plain off on many of it's X-axis attributions. Jacobin is a hard left socialist journal, yet the chart has it at the same spot on the X-axis as the Atlantic. The Economist and Wall Street Journal are further right than "skew conservative." The Guradian is much further left than the Atlantic, the New Yorker, Slate, the Daily Beast, and many, many others on there.
They tried to create a neat diagram and shoehorned it to be so.
