All of that is irrelevant to my point that your right wing government has policies that would be far left in the US

The rubric is literally right below what you quoted

The categories are as follows:

1. Biased Wording/Headlines- Does the source use loaded words to convey emotion to sway the reader. Do headlines match the story?

2. Factual/Sourcing- Does the source report factually and back up claims with well-sourced evidence.

3. Story Choices: Does the source report news from both sides, or do they only publish one side.

4. Political Affiliation: How strongly does the source endorse a particular political ideology? Who do the owners support or donate to?

Just because it is a qualitative and not a quantitative assessment doesn’t mean it’s arbitrary.

There is a whole lot more to it than that. You can read it here.

In Switzerland, patients pay up to 8% of their personal income towards the cost of a basic insurance plan. If their premiums work out to more than 8% of their income, the government provides a cash subsidy to cover the difference.

My point in this whole thing is that everyone in Switzerland has healthcare and that healthcare is subsidized to be more affordable than in the US. That would be a left wing program here.

Gross Geneva monthly minimum wage is CHF 4426 or $4,940 according to a quick Google. In the US it’s $1,330.

Edit. Even the highest US local minimum wage of $17 an hour is $2,992 a month.

They clearly list the methodology they use on their website.

As much as it sounds like you don’t like what you have, it’s still better than the US.

I think it’s considered center left based on US politics. Our Overton window has shifted pretty far. The Swiss have universal healthcare and strict gun control. That can’t be right by US standards.

Apparently conservatism means citizens have as few rights as possible.

These titles are getting closer and closer to my exact demographic.

Oh look, Trump blatantly committed another felony.

American values? Can’t have that!

Like the separation of church and state?

Immigration? Come on in, we’ll worry about it later!

That’s how 99% of the country got here. It’s what made (and still makes) this country great. Incorporating people from around the world is an American value.

Trump is running again? Let’s do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to stop him from campaigning!!

What about the American value of respecting law and order by not supporting a convicted felon for president?

Crime is getting worse? Let’s ease up on punishment! Crime isn’t getting worse.

Crime is actually going down.

Biological men want to compete with women in sports? Okay!

Accepting those with different beliefs and respecting the way they choose to live their life is another American value.

I wonder if there would be a correlation if they asked "Do you think of yourself as a Texan (or whichever state) first or an American first. I would bet a lot more Texans identify with state more than country.

6 months from now “Why are all these Venezuelans coming across the border!?!”

The proposed US deal had triple the aid to Palestine as Israel, but the GOP fucked that up.

For Iran or Pakistan to join, they would have to go through Jordan which is unlikely given their alliance with both Israel and the US. I suppose Turkey could attack from the sea, but they are part of NATO and would be fucking themselves.

Sadly even if we pulled all military support for Israel immediately, they still have enough weapons in stock to wipe Gaza off the map.

Can’t wait to hear people explain how Israel is justified because there were Hamas tunnels underground beneath the convoy.
