This needs to die in a fire. It's not the US Overton window. You can see that by far right sources listed as right center. Like the Ayn Rand Institute.

Just in curiosity, what is an example of a centre-right (by American standards) source for you? I make no comment about the Ayn Rand Institute as I know nothing about it

[–] Maggoty 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sinclair and Fox News stations would be center right. Fox Opinion TV would be Right to Far right depending on the show and Ayn Rand is far right because it's anarchy-capitalism.

Center, or least biased are your fact based papers of record. BBC, NYT, WAPO, Baltimore Sun, LA Times, etc.

I think you're right in terms of the American spectrum. Do you have a link to the bot calling the Ayn Rand institute centre-right? I did some more digging into it.

I will happily retract my comment if you can.

You can check this yourself on MBFC's site but sure I'm feeling useless today. Link
