Please note MBFC is the subjective opinion of one anonymous man who runs it all. It is incredibly biased and should not be used.
Not 1 man. A team of volunteers and contractors. I challenge you to find competitors doing a better job.
The fact that their methodology downgrades factual rankings if they (arbitrarily) deem a source left/right bias even if they’ve never failed a fact check shows how terrible it is.
They give the ADL which Wikipedia has deemed unreliable their 2nd highest ranking shows even their fact checking isn’t good.
One of the reasons journalists (are supposed to) minimize bias is because if they tell one side of a story by definition they omit information from the other side.
If they omit information then you can fact check that. Automatically downgrading factuality because they’re not considered centrist by the website arbitrary definition that’s based on the USs skewed view of left and right isn’t objective in anyway.
You’re wording it poorly. They downgrade factuality due to sounding left or right, not the absence of being centrist. Centrism is itself a bias which is why it is on a scale and not called neutral.
Again left/right based on the website creators definition of those words which is going to be biased.
He’s literally a random man from North Carolina who decides what is and isn’t media bias.
This is not a quality service run by a team of trained professionals. It should not be taken as an arbiter of anything, nor lent any credibility.
Are you seriously arguing having a name known to the public is not an individual feature?
Calling for “radical solutions” is a very poor choice of words atm.
