Who runs this "lib guides" site? The sources listed as "leans left" are absolutely NOT what would be called "left" in any other part of the world.
The last time I was forced to watch CNN (in a waiting area at O'Hare) Wolf Blitzer was doing an hour-long infomercial (disguised as news) in which he told us all how totally wonderful it is that the rockets and the rest of the aerospace industry are being completely privatized. This is pro-capitalist, not left.
The Guardian is a reliable mouthpiece for establishment beliefs -- pro-war, etc.
Mother Jones fell hook line and sinker for Russiagate, and hasn't apologized.
MSNBC was even worse, with their highest paid "news" anchor inventing wild scare stories about the Russians turning off our heating.
The New Republic was a leading cheerleader for the Iraq war, even as more careful news reporters were warning that the war was based on lies.
Both The NY Times and the Washington Post are well known to be official spokesmen for the military/industrial complex.
Corporate press in the US has no "left."
