Nicked from Facebook and commented with

Some may quibble about the horizontal placement here or there, but it's certainly in the ballpark IN TERMS OF RELATIVE PLACEMENT, and the vertical depth analysis is good as well. - created by Vanessa Otero. As noted below in her comment, there simply wasn't room to list every news source so she had to make some choices. Apologies if your favorite isn't on the list. (Correction - some WILL quibble about horizontal placement, thereby missing the point)

More of a US bias in terms of source list but also IMHO quite balanced and fair, a good reference point when you find that juicy story linked 😉
The key point is probably that Does Not Agree with me Does Not equal bias in some cases.
(resisted urge to add STW members to the pic 😉 )

I think the medium is more the concern. If users only consume their news through their social media channels, it may have already had some filter bias. Also, people are skimming news much more via online when compared to print. The delivery itself doesn't lend itself well to lengthy analytical pieces.

Yep I'm assuming you mean the headline readers.

I would certainly quibble about the placement of the vertical line - its obvious that comes from an american source
