Since most Terra breaking news comes from Korean media and there are tens of sources, here's a simplified mini-guide. Highly authoritative: KBS, SBS Authoritative, left-leaning: JTBC, MBC Authoritative, right-leaning: Chosun, Joongang, Donga The rest: dubious, fact-check ad hoc

Saying that MBC and JTBC are left leaning might be a bit of a stretch… or it might depend on your definition of “left”. Media in Korea is rather conservative overall. (Not disputing their quality or journalistic rigor)
Indeed, the tweet is highly simplistic. As I understand it, Korea's 'centre' per se is what the West would consider right-adjacent, and using that as a reference point, there are left-leaning and right-leaning channels - but not nearly as polarized as American media?

Yeah, I would say that the mainstream Korean politics is quite right-wing conservative. And what their divide between left and right is more related to their perspective on North Korea. More or less open to dialog, etc. That’s my feeling about their channels as well.

But I must say I am not particularly, engaged with Korean politics and media. So there are probably many people that can give a more authoritative perspective!
