Credit to Barstool Sports, Who According to Cold Hard Data is The Most Unbiased Media Company in America (Or At Least One of Them)
Thank you very reputable & accomplished media organization Ad Fontes Media, home of the interactive media bias chart, for recognizing Barstool Sports for exactly what we are. Their "team of human analysts with political views from across the spectrum who are trained to look at the content of the new and score it according to their methodology", correctly identify Barstool Sports as a perfectly unbiased source of media with slightly more news value and reliability than Joe Rogan and Russell Brand. And right on par with the guy from Cum Town's ex-girlfriend's podcast about communism. No matter how incorrect and not-at-all based in fact the non-reputable bloggers of Barstool Sports may be, you can rest assure that we are misleading the public equally.
Being the perfectly fair and unbiased blogger I am, I visited www.adfontesmedia.com to take a look at their interactive chart myself. Just to fact check this information. But on the updated chart, from what I could see, Barstool Sports was nowhere to be found. So I'm not sure how old that chart in the tweet is. When I typed "Barstool Sports" into the Ad Fontes search bar, it told me I had to pay for a subscription to use that feature. At the bottom of their website it says, "See more with Premium and Pro". Which might mean if I paid money that I'd be able to see where Barstool Sports currently stands. But seeing as Barstool falls on the "Selective, Incomplete, Unfair Persuasion, Propaganda, or Other Issues" line of the 'News Value and Reliability' axis, I will not be doing the additional research to determine if Barstool has moved left, right, or down (definitely not up) on this chart since January 2024. That's not what we do here.
Never been more proud to work for this company. It's a pleasure to be even the smallest part of it. Whether were reporting on the hands-down greatest dynasty in the history of professional sports in the New England Patriots, or Colorado Buffaloes' Head Coach Deion Sanders, the most revolutionary college football mind since the invention of the forward pass, you can count on Barstool Sports for unbiased reporting that may or may not based in reality. For every Dave Portnoy-Donald Trump interview, we have a Big Cat to disavow it. When the internet calls Barstool out for being a bunch of misogynist cis male hardos, we hire a gay blogger and dub him Gay Pat. For every time Stu Feiner publicly ranks our female employees based on tit size, Joey Camasta asks me to be his cum dumpster. It's the perfect push and pull that allows us to fall perfectly in the middle of the all-knowing Ad Fontes Media Bias Chart. VIVA.
