After measuring visibility bias, researchers found CNN, Fox News and MSNBC have all shifted away from the centre of the political spectrum

With confidence in the news media dipping to historic lows, it’s no surprise that a primary gripe the public has with outlets is their perceived biases.

New research backs this up – The University of Pennsylvania analysed 10 years worth of content from CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.

The research revealed shifting media biases over the study window, while prime-time shows largely drove heightened polarization between the channels.

So how did they stack up? Fox News tended to skew toward the right over the past decade while MSNBC and CNN moved left.

Political leanings

The team focused on visibility bias, assessing the perceived political leanings of guests who appeared on the networks.

Polarization between the networks was particularly acute in the period following the 2016 presidential election of former President Trump and continued to shift over time.

The data shows the relationship between Fox News, CNN and MSNBC has polarized — growing increasingly distant from one another.

So in essence, it’s like a civil war.

Established brands like Peugeot and Nissan are slashing prices by significant margins to compete with emerging Chinese EV competitors.

Facing a dual challenge of a decelerating growth in EV adoption and a surge in competitively priced alternatives from Chinese manufacturers like BYD and MG, traditional automakers are forced to enact substantial price cuts to clear inventory.

This trend reflects the fast pace within the market and signals the formidable struggle for dominance in the EV space. #featured #trending

The comments came after the Biden administration halted a recent shipment of bombs amid concerns over Israel’s plans to launch a full-scale assault on Rafah even as cease-fire talks continue with Hamas.

Jonathan Tobin, the Editor-in-Chief of Jewish News Syndicate, joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
