    The Atlantic is basically a news magazine for wealthy households. Kind of bonkers to describe it as “center-left” unless you think that factual reporting makes something left of center.

      I think you just don’t recognize your own bias.

      Allsides has them as pretty far left.

      Adfontesmedia says they alternate between center and very left-biased articles.

      MBFC is actually one of the more generous ones, saying center-left.

        They do sometimes publish, say, environmentalist-oriented articles.

        They don’t ever publish stuff calling for a redistribution of power from capital to labor.

          I’m assuming they all measure in American left/right, nor actual left/right
