[RickJamesLich]

Sanders is a clown but that is pretty excessive

[zenkai]

There is no 'left journalist' in mainstream media.

you're joking, right?

[Blayze]

Welcome to the same shit GamerGate has been dealing with all this time.

[stabetha]

you're joking, right?

I think he means left of himself.

Comment of the day

Sampling of the average audience of the source.

The Left wants to trash Sanders for the same reason the Right wants to trash Trump.

The establishment political elite cant stand the fact that the people have a voice.

While I don't agree with you on much, one this one, I am in full agreement with you.

[Elegiac]

you're joking, right?

No, I'm not.

Mainstream media in the United States is dominated by corporate interests which invariably have a centre-right or, more correctly, an establishment bias.

Or rather using the objective metric of 'left' and 'right' rather than what Americans think 'left' and 'right' mean.

[Fugus]

Depends on how you think about it really. There is plenty of establishment left media sources out there, but that really isn't the left to most people, they pay lip service but ignore anything of substantial change.

As far as left leaning media sources that don't bow to the establishment, there really isn't and unfortunately, the establishment itself leans pretty fairly to the right on economic points while also being very critical of social safety nets. While they pay lip service to them, they sideline any candidate whom will make honest attempts at implementing them.

At least that is my take on it.

[BuckSparkles]

I've never seen this before, thanks Zombergy

Eh seems realistic. Although huffpost needs to be FAR more left than it is.

Well to be fair, anything right of him is far right.

[nextormento]

you're joking, right?

He operates under the premise that Bobbio made sense.
The contention makes it so "right journalism" doesn't exist either, since journalism that endorses inequality is kind of absurd.

[Stormdash]

Huh I always viewed the WaPo as being right leaning.

Heh. No. You'd think ole Bernie was a Republican, going on a spree of coverage like that.

[Theinquisition]

I think he means left of himself.

I genuinely smiled at this, thank you for that.

[TheTaurenOrc]

lol at that graph! The NYT is more left leaning than Buzzfeed!?

[Powerogue]

Establishment corporate media has an implicit bias against anti-establishment candidates. Go figure.

That seems the most likely reasoning.

Isn't Hillary a huge donor to Washington Post's parent company?

Edit: her State Department gave $16 million to Washington Post's parent company. So they are shilling super hard for Hillary

Not even surprised, cheers for american democracy
