That site is garbage. The atomic unit of propaganda is not lies, it’s emphasis. NYT (and most western news media have supported every single military action the US has done when it mattered.
This isn’t reflected in their ratings, since they don’t need to use lies to get people believing wild misconceptions. It is reflected in the way the American people are mobilized to support each military action.
That site gets used for academic analysis of media bias and has been shown to agree near perfectly with other third party media bias ratings. It would be nice to have a “nationalist” bias ratings as well included but I suspect it would be an unbelievable amount of work and nearly impossible to make balanced beyond their press freedom ranking and overall bias reports. And it’s not agonizingly difficult to read primary news sources and competing perspectives while sticking to sources that have a reputation they care about protecting regarding vetting sources and publishing reasonably accurate news.
You however seem to be suggesting that media honesty is hopeless anyways so you may as well take blatant propaganda “news” sources with poor fact check ratings, from nations with deplorable press freedom as equal to any other. Which is an incredibly dangerous and frankly idiotic perspective to have.
The NYT is obviously biased towards western interests in key ways, the BBC and NPR are even government funded news agencies. They are not in any way equivalent to RT or SCMP let alone the Global Times. There is a level of press freedom, academic freedom, transparency, and freedom to criticize that is completely incomparable.
TLDR: Fuck off tankies, authoritarianism is not welcome in lefty circles as long as I have something to say about it.
