Where’s the heavily left-leaning news? I’d like to consume some. Late-stage capitalism, rights of labor, single payer healthcare, CEO/corporate greed, abolish cars, eat the rich-type news would be nice to see somewhere.
Not that I’m any kind of authority on the biases of publications, but I tend to think of ProPublica as more about investigative journalism than any political theory.
All three of those publications you list either contribute to or source articles from ProPublica on a regular basis. All three also tend to cite sources and first hand reporting in their articles. You cannot say the same for far right publications, especially rumor mills in the Breitbart, InfoWars, Fox News sphere of influence.
There is absolutely a difference between the “left” and the “right” when it comes to journalism. The patterns I’ve noticed are more rigor in fact checking on the “left”.
However, you bring up a good point in that the media amplifies tribalism. I think social media is amplifying the opinion pieces that drive the wedge issues. Finally, I’m noticing a trend of podcasters sourcing opinion pieces as fact.

Just off the top of my head
Where do you think ProPublica stands in that spectrum then?
