What does the spectrum illustrate if not bias? Because it sure looks like it's a scale of bias: Extreme Left Bias, Left Bias, Left-Center Bias, Least Bias, Right-Center Bias, Extreme Right Bias. And it sure seems to correspond with the part of the article right below it that explicitly says "Right-Center Bias"

And again, where would a centrist biased source go on that spectrum?

Also: ad hominem if you want to just link logical fallacies.

And it is your responsibility. You are trying to disprove what I said but have offered no proof otherwise.

I already explained how that’s not what this spectrum illustrates. your lack of comprehension is not my responsibility.

What, political bias vs political alignment? Again, where would a heavily biased, centrist aligned source go on their graph? You haven't answered that.

Sealioning

Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter. It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate", and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings. The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki, which The Independent called "the most apt description of Twitter you'll ever see".

You don't even know what that means and you're just throwing it around on things that aren't that. Citing logical fallacies is useless and the absolute worst debate bro thought terminating cliche.

"nuh-uh" is not an effective form of argument.

That's literally the argument BrooklynMan is making. He's saying "that's not what the spectrum illustrates" without giving any proof as to what it illustrates.

i find their argument effective. i'm borrowing it.

and they explained it clearly. you just ignored it because you didn't like it.
