The fact that the site you linked puts The New York Times in the furthest left category is completely invalidating. It’s actually laughable.

Anarchism, Syndicalism, Communism. Those are far-left ideologies. The New York Times is centrist. It’s editorial section is _explicitly_ pro-capitalism.

The US is extraordinarily skewed to the right economically, so healthcare for all is a controversy and outlets like the NYT are considered leftist.

I am unaware of any mainstream American news outlet that skews far enough left to be considered to have an Anarchist, Syndicalist, or Communist bias. Maybe Jacobin magazine, if you count it as "mainstream."
