Damn you post this dumb thing a lot.
A 2018 year-in-review and prospective on fact-checking from the Poynter Institute (which develops PolitiFact[25]) noted a proliferation of credibility score projects, including Media/Bias Fact Check, writing that “While these projects are, in theory, a good addition to the efforts combating misinformation, they have the potential to misfire,” and stating that “Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific.”[26] Also in 2018, a writer in the Columbia Journalism Review described Media Bias/Fact Check as “an armchair media analysis”[27] and characterized their assessments as “subjective assessments [that] leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in”.[28]
Wow that’s pretty damning, almost makes it seem like someone using this to shut down conversations by claiming media outlets are unreliable could be acting in bad faith. Like some kind of pro-Western, pro-Israel ideologue.

Why use critical thinking when instead I can just believe everything US backed organizations tell me!
