You're totally right, I jumped the gun. I know they didn't create the chart, only that they were showcasing it in an article called Polarising perspective.

I failed to read the tagline which is also serving as a disclaimer:

A modern illustration of how the commercially-controlled media depicts the political spectrum. In the 21st century, the enemy image of "extremism" is used to try to promote the corporate media as reliable and "middle of the road". A way of framing the debates that effectively hinders consensus and promotes disharmony.

This is a good example of the importance of disclaimers/warnings and the time sensitivity of consuming information even for people like me who are usually very quick at deciphering data and intent behind articles. I think the image should have a stamped warning on it in red at the top of the image itself: Warning: this is a misleading chart by a mainstream source used to promote globalist media as "middle of the road". or something to that effect.

Thanks for making me check again.
