    Huh, I had assumed Newsweek was mostly left, but it looks like you’re correct:

    Bias Rating: RIGHT-CENTER
    Factual Reporting: MOSTLY FACTUAL
    Country: USA
    MBFC’s Country Freedom Rating: MOSTLY FREE
    Media Type: Magazine
    Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic
    MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY

    I haven’t read it in over a decade though…

      FWIW, I had a subscription over a decade ago. I can’t say I ever thought of it as “Left”, it was at best, corporate center. But it definitely has gone more right as it has also gone more sensationalist. They partnered with Daily Beast for a while, and then were sold to IBT media, an international “news and Information” conglomerate. I think your memories are from the old hard journalism days, and they have gone back to corporate, but corporate-right.

        Isn’t all corporate, right or center? This is maybe a me problem but I think of the Democrats as a center right party because of their policies regarding corporations.

      You can assume a right-center bias for almost any outlet, and I think mediabiasfactcheck needs to recalibrate, if we are being honest. See their assessment of NYT, as a for instance.

            I bought into a year of the vantage plan and it’s been pretty good. It actually renewed a couple of months ago. I check it every day generally.
