From the article: "The Media Bias Chart by Ad Fontes Media rates various media sources on two different scales: political bias (left to right) on the horizontal axis and reliability on the vertical axis. On the chart, sources are concentrated in an "inverted-U" shape as media sources with a neutral bias are generally reliable in their original fact reporting, while sources with an extreme bias on either side often contain factually inaccurate information and propaganda."

Revised: The Media Bias Chart by Ad Fontes Media rates various media sources on two different scales: political bias (politically left to politically right) on the horizontal axis and reliability on the vertical axis (fact reporting to sharing completely false information). On the chart, sources are concentrated in an "inverted-U" shape. Sources at the peak of the "U" are considered mostly reliable and objective, while sources along the left and right sides generally have a bias and/or a questionable reliability score. Furthermore, sources along the extreme low ends of the left and right sides often contain factually inaccurate information and propaganda.

What I am Adding: Ad Fontes Media has two different types of bias charts on their page. These types are the Static Charts and then the Interactive Media Bias Chart. The Static Charts are charts that have data available from a specific point in time. The first static chart debuted in 2016 as version 1.0. Certain static charts have various updated forms of the same version where they have a ".1" after the original number. The most recent example is Static Chart 6.1, updated in November of 2020 from version 6.0, originally posted in June of 2020.

The Interactive Media Bias Chart is the main chart that factors in data from the older Static Charts, as well as current data. These factors makes it the most available up to date chart. This interactive version also allows users to zoom in and out, click directly on individual news companies to see their scores, filter various controls such as the accuracy and bias range, and see where individual articles were ranked.

[Possible edits to the "Psychographics" article]

Psychographic methods gained prominence in the 2016 US presidential election and the opposing campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, with the latter using them extensively in microtargeting advertisements to narrow constituencies. The companies involved with these controversial campaigns would purposely take advantage of user's anxieties and emotions in an effort to sway them to vote for a particular candidate
