I hoped that this would put side by side articles about the same subjects but with different spins. I find myself comparing breitbart/foxnews/nytimes/guardian quite often.

Re: Show HN: Compare news from the political left and right
#102That's a pretty nice thing you did here, but i'm questioned by what you call "left". Left means abolition of private property (sharing of resources) so i was expecting more left-wing publications like (just to name a few) crimethinc.com unicornriot.ninja itsgoingdown.org theantimedia.com. Some like jacobinmag.com or democracynow.org appear on the project's README but i don't find anything from there on the site. Is t…
Left means abolition of private property
It doesn't, that's just a misunderstanding of your own.

#103Very nice job. It would be interesting to see all of the sources put into a Nolan Chart:

#104What scares me is that the “middle” view is pretty far right.
May be you are too far left where "middle" seems like far right?
Re: Show HN: Compare news from the political left and right
#105Hi all, I have the feeling that in the last few years all political discussions have become more extreme. People from the left think that all the people from the right are evil and vice versa. Our filter bubbles don't help with this issue. That's why I built "Their news". With "Their News" you discover news from the entire political spectrum without any filter bubbles. My recommendation is that you try out different…
You are probably right that monetizing is not feasible, but I’m principal I feel compelled to point out that almost no website monetize is the “average“ person, which is exactly the kind of person that a psychological study is trying to characterize.
Think about it like this: I’m sure a psychological study where to find that The average person is completely uninterested in a text only website about technology so I’ve never heard of. Yet here we, and I bet a few hundred of us would pay a few dollars a month for HN if that was their business model

I think that mostly shows the limits of their analysis. The Guardian is basically the left-wing paper in the UK; I don't think there's anything to the left of them outside of fairly fringe, niche, and very fragmented publications. Internal disputes within the left play out within their comment section, whilst the news section often seems to attacking the right wing as its main goal.

I'm not sure what the methodologies are. There is no objective "left" or "right", the two camps are just defined in relation to a supposed center. Where you place a newspaper depends on your perception of what the center should be- and that's a political, not a factual choice- which depends on the moment, the culture, etc.
I've checked the bias analysis of some Guardian articles in one of your sources. They strike me all as pretty far left- if not in the contents, in the choice of subjects. Consider that it's perfectly possibile to compose a newspaper entirely of dry, factual articles about, for example, episodes of worker's abuse or of immigrant criminality. Each article is absolutely unbiased, the newspaper is absolutely biased.

#107I think this is great podcast episode on how political views aren’t really as newly polarized or extreme as people think:

#108I recommend rethinking how you stem the input words —- I searched for “socialism” but all I get has to do with “social media.”

Yeah, try searching "white supremacy" on the default (middle) view.
The top article is Breitbart whining about an article from Cosmopolitan of all places.
I also see articles from OAN, Fox News, and Conservative Review... given that this was the search it (randomly) gave me when I opened the site, I don't have an awfully high estimation of its "middle" view.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ don't know what to tell you. It took me all of "ad fontes methodology" in google to find the links above, and their approach is objectively stronger than your or my gut feeling/opinion.
And if you were to ask for my opinion, I'd say that The Guardian leans ever so slightly right, but that's why I rely on objective methods to rank media bias rather than my own gut.
