Unrelated to where things are placed on this chart, I generally think this sort of political compass of news reporting is good, there's a difference between news reporting and opinion/punditry in virtually every outlet. Outlets like AP or Reuters along with a number of other ones in that square mostly just air any given political figures press releases without challenging anything, which is largely the biggest difference between news reporting and punditry.

In contrast, an outlet like democracy now differs from other left leaning outlets in that they are far more focused on fact reporting than punditry, they bring people on to speak for themselves rather than say TYT which is far more partisan focused and is in turn less fact based.
