    Mediabiasfactcheck is biased in its own right. People are dismissing Jpost because it’s ridiculously biased towards the Israeli right wing.

      It’s literally one of the best checks around. That you want to dismiss it should trigger some self reflection about a potential information bubble you’re in…

        One of the best checks because there’s no serious competition. did you even look at MBFC’s methology? They’re only “good” when you don’t actually check the nonsense they write.

          I have reviewed them (methodolgies). And still maintain that they’re magnitudes better than a Lemmy kid going “nuh uh”.

          I agree with you, and you are 100% correct. It’s worthwhile to review the methodologies to better understand the ratings. Some of the sties I’d never touch in a million years get high credibility, granted they note the bias, and I understand why–even if I don’t agree with all ratings.
