Newsweek states on their own website that this article is unfairly leaning left. What a strange editorial decision.

It's an unfortunately looking vote gauge (it's like a poll where readers decide whether it does lean on either side or not), not their opinion about the article.

yeah, it appears that they just took some generic gauge animation, in which arrows always tend to start on the left-hand side (think any of the gauges in your car.) Once you vote it does tell you that the most popular opinion is that it's center/fair

Its a design decision that is bafflingly stupid. People will use this as evidence of bias.
