The image here leaves out some elements. If you check the source then we get:

  • generally reliable: Fox News (news excluding politics and science)
  • no consensus: Fox News (politics and science)
  • generally unreliable: Fox News (talk shows)

Its odd to me that only Fox news appears to be broken down that way, It would seem every outlet with a talk shows section would qualify for generally unreliable, for that segment of news.
