NYT definitely skews liberal. As does WaPo.

BBC also can be a bit lefty but that's fine I'd leave them there compared to the others.

I don't see Slate or Vox being reputable, especially not that reputable to be higher than the BBC. I've seen some clickbaity and not great stuff from them. They shouldn't really be in the top category of "great in-depth sources of news".

I really liked this Slate article:

Never Forget That Donald Trump Could Have Been the President of the United States

Don't forget it guys!

HuffPo I also don't see as that reputable, or should be placed as skewing more left. Actually they put them on the border between skewing liberal and hyper-partisan so that's fine.

The Guardian probably should be placed skewing liberal more, but I am fine with their reputability, they write some very good articles and generally will report facts. Generally. Unless it's an opinion piece. And often they'll put their own slant and interpretation on facts, which isn't always helpful.

BBC should probably also be in the top bubble, they do have opinion pieces and reporter in-depth stuff that are very informative.

Actually I'm disappointed Politico isn't on here! I use it daily for my politics news. It define skews liberal a bit, just a bit, but would certainly earn a place in that top bubble as a great in-depth source of news.

No comment on the placement of the right leaning news outlets?

I don't read the Blaze much so I can't judge some of these.

I have read Breitbart, and it can be pretty bad sometimes, though they have picked up on a couple things before the mainstream media did. They are clearly very biased, that's not something they'd hide either (unlike Fox News whose slogan is "Fair and Balanced" ) and yeah I won't argue too much about the reputability, that seem fair. Their opinion pieces can be pretty hilarious though, especially from Milo Yiannopoulos who regardless of what you think of him and his views is a good writer and can be very funny.

Otherwise they seem relatively fine, which is why I didn't comment on them.

Slate and HuffPo are mixed bags - some stuff is fine and some is trash, but no way does Slate deserve to be up that high - it should be down around where MSNBC is. NYT and WaPo deserve to be higher on the quality scale than HuffPo. WSJ has been behind a complete firewall for a while, so idk how to rank them these days.
