Eh, I actually like this. I think it's important to hear what the both sides are saying, even if it is patently bullshit. Knowing what the other side cares about/thinks is true is important in understanding how they act and how to talk to them about issues.

In theory yes that can be true, but in practice it is just another way to radicalize right leaning people. The people running this run all the Republican lies/propaganda as the truth on one side and phone in a strawman leftist sjw argument on the other. The idea is if they give you two options you wont notice when the choice they offered was obviously biased in their favor because they can claim to be neutral.

Reminder that FAIR found that 97% of US medí supported the Iraq War.
There are not two equally extreme sides.

Yeah, but 64% of them admitted they were probably wrong, if only on some of the details, a decade later, so what more can you really want from them? They said sorry! They'll say it again next time, too

We take the biases of both sides to create one superbias

It will be like “Joe Biden says x, Hitler said y, we’re sure the answer lies somewhere in the middle”

Most mainstream media I've seen that people claim as leftist, like The Guardian, is centre-left at best. No doubt there exists non-mainstream "heavily" leftist media, but somehow I doubt that's what they're talking about.
The only "heavily leftist" media source I've seen, is Common Dreams, which is known to be heavily posted in r/worldnews and r/politics.
[Example in r/worldnews](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/ejk2va/hundreds_of_thousands_of_iranians_flood_streets/).
There’s also Current Affairs, but I’ve only seen them posted occasionally on r/chapotraphouse
The only one I can think of is Mother Jones.
Could Jacobin and MAYBE Teen Vogue go in there as well (i hate to admit it but they’ve been on a roll with great articles)
