There is a whale of a difference between a Classical Liberal (I'm one of those) and a modern Liberal.

Well, if you must know, its because I'm NOT a whippersnapper that I don't hotlink sometimes. I have not been able to science out how to do it on my smartphone, and Microsoft Edge, which showed up with windows 10, blows hot chunks for anything. Therefore, I have to wait to get to work so I can use Windows 7, and I would have forgotten the "Crapice" joke by the time I made it to work this morning. And it was just too darn funny to leave to the vagaries of my memory.

I could go back and retroactively hotlink, I think...

Strangly (I am progressive, engineer, likes data) and the graph is accurate by international standards.

What is strange is I have a conservative political operative friend (as in he helped get the new Louisiana Senator elected and was recognized in the speech on national TV) and he also agrees with that chart.

so although we would tweak individual positions up or down. left or right seemed spot on by every metric than people who identify on either side.

In a nutshell y'alls bias is showin'

I can't post a hotlink with my phone either. Do what I do instead:

I think it is a relative chart- if you compare the biases of the various sources against the OTHER news sources in the chart, that is how it lines up.

Heck, even some tires are biased.

This thread is brushing against the fringes of the ban hammer and I'd hate to see that happen. So, I'm going to carpet bomb it with images from a Google image search of Race Car and see if we can get away from the potentially troublesome images. Here we go:
