What do you think the political compass scores would be if the world's major media outlets took the test? Also plese state which source you use the most or rank them based on how much you watch them, (1 being the most watched)
Here's my guesses on a few:
ABC News: -2 L/R ; 3 A/L - 1
FOX News: 4 L/R ; 6 A/L - 3
PBS: -1 L/R ; -3 A/L - 2
CNN: 1 L/R ; 3 A/L - 4
BBC: -2 L/R ; -2 A/L - 5

What is "A/L" ?

BBC -2 on the economic scale? More like 0, I reckon. Also, much as I frown at Fox's pisspoor broadcasting standards, I doubt they score as high as 6 on the A/L scale. Or do they?

Meh. The compass is a bag o' shite anyway.

I sincerely doubt you could pinpoint an entire media outlet's political compass. Not everyone in the same media outlet thinks the same way.
