Your post got me searching: I found a Washington Post article with a nice analysis and a left-right scale of common news sources. Both slate and breitbart are outliers:

Some of those surprise me. I would have expected to see sources like NYT and NPR as more popular with the right than sources like MSNBC and Huffington Post.

edit: I suppose there might be a selection effect. The large networks are watched by everyone, and the smaller ones are sought out.
