Hmmm. I'd say it's not that clear. No one can seriously consider the CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC crowd to be skewed toward fact reporting rather than advocacy.
You misunderstood what I said.
As a group, mainstream and left-leaning outlets skew towards fact reporting and complex analysis, whereas
as a group right-leaning skew towards simple analysis and propaganda.
The broadcast networks do almost all fact reporting whereas CNN does a mix. I haven't paid attention to MSNBC in years, but I see the chart has them farther down than CNN, which strikes me as reasonable.
But because there are so many on the left and so few on the right, I do see why you would think that what's listed on the right in the chart would look more propagandistic.
What I'm looking at is how the ones on the right are distributed vertically. If conservatives were serious about putting out serious alternatives to, say, NYT and Wapo, or even Vox, they'd be trying to populate the "fact" and higher level "analysis" rows. Instead, they tend to go for the easy money in the lower quality opinion rows.
One America News, for example, is hardly the equal of and parallel to CNN!
I don't know in what way you're referring to, but scanning over the headlines on the OAN website (and the chart makes a distinction between web and tv for several outlets), they look pretty comparable to me in terms of balance between news and opinion, which means I think OAN Web deserves to be higher up the chart (assuming the content of those articles matches the headlines, which I'm not going to bother checking right now). In fact, I'd say that OAN makes it easier to distinguish between the News headlines and the Opinion headlines, which I appreciate.
