On average, AllSides survey respondents rated nytimes as Lean Left and nypost as Lean Right. However, we found that respondents’ perception of both outlets’ biases were very different based on where they live.
Again, it’s very important to note that the above are raw responses, so they are not normalized. In other words, metro-area responses are heavily skewed left, because there are more Democrats/liberals in the New York City metro area.
It is also worth noting that the NYC metro-area results and national results are representative samples of their respective populations, and are balanced to reflect that. During an AllSides Blind Bias Survey, we ask respondents to read news headlines and reports from media outlets with all identifying or branding information removed. Respondents then provide an overall bias rating for the outlet using an 11-point Likert scale, with the point furthest to the left labeled “Left,” the point furthest right labeled “Right,” and the point in the center labeled “Center.”
Overall results are then represented on a scale of -9 to +9, with 0 representing dead Center, -9 representing Left and +9 representing Right.Right: +3.00 to +9.00 While the normalized average responses confirmed our media bias ratings of The New York Post and The New York Times as Lean Right and Lean Left, respectively, we found it interesting to note just how different perception can be based on the bubble where a respondent lives. With so many liberals in New York City, it makes sense that this group sees The New York Times as Center, while the rest of the country puts it to the left.
