Comments and Reviews
Apart from being very biased and placing leaning right or simply wing news outlets as extreme right. They also repeatedly quote form RationalWiki, a radical and extremist left wiki site, to back up their stances and ideas of any certain website. Therefore, this website show itself to not be centrist at all even if it purports to be.
Interesting point. I think the challenge for any platform like Media Bias Fact Check is that 'objectivity' itself is often viewed through the observer's own lens. Using RationalWiki might be controversial for some, but the key is whether their underlying data methodology (like looking at ownership, sourcing, and correction frequency) holds up.
For me, as someone who builds data-driven utilities, I always tell users to cross-reference multiple fact-checking sources rather than relying on one single authority. It's about building a 'triangulation' of truth. Do you find other alternatives that use a more transparent scoring system?
