Suggestion for title correction: AT&T, Which Owns Far-Left CNN, Helped Build Far-Right One America News
The LA times literally ran a headline:
> Larry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy. You’ve been warned.

From that study CNN scores right next to LA times in terms of skew.
The reality, is that most of what people see is left wing. Real far-right news isn’t on the air, and isn’t in most public debate. The Overton window is pretty far left, so anything more moderate seems right or far right.
This brings to mind the liberal battle cry that facts have a well-known liberal bias.
> Real far-right news isn’t on the air, and isn’t in most public debate.
I'm guessing you don't live in the U.S.?
> The Overton window is pretty far left, so anything more moderate seems right or far right.
O, for a scale on which to measure the position of the Overton window!
I do, and I live in the country now and have lived in major cities. I also am familiar with history.
Most people have no idea what they’re talking about. The bubble is real.

Also OAN and CNN are not equivalently far from reality. Only one of those has actively peddled anti-democracy conspiracies and then apologized for it.
