Reminder that charts & ratings of alleged bias in news are not, themselves, "objective" & should always be questioned. Some of the most popular have deeply flawed methodologies that yield some truly absurd (and harmful) "ratings" that exacerbate rather than diminish misconceptions about journalism.

Teens overwhelmingly used negative words like "biased," "boring," "chaotic," and "bad" to describe the news media and journalists in a new @newslit.org survey.
Those doing the hard and important work of teaching media literacy to high schoolers are unsurprised. www.niemanlab.org/2025/11/bias...

About half of the teens surveyed believe that journalists frequently “make up details, such as quotes” and “pay for sources.”

1/ 🚨Our NEW study paints a shockingly bleak picture of how teens view the press. It also illustrates that there is a chasm between what teens think is going on in newsrooms versus what happens every day at credible outlets.
