Accurate, educational useful and enlightening, also understandable that people on both far left or far right will be offended to learn the truth re how their trusted news source is rated in the world.
After studying the many of their ratings I find them to be ironically bias themselves. Over and over again they seem to ignore anything negative regarding left leaning sources. (Hopefully not disingenuously). Here is an example of their bias: https://www.justfactsdaily.com/media-bias-fact-check-incompetent-or-dishonest
Given all the misinformation on the internet, this is a great tool to check websites that purport to be reporting on the news. Unfortunately many websites on both the left and right (e.g., Vox, HuffPost, Breitbart, Drudge Report) mix opinion, blog writing and purported news reports without clear identification of what is supposed to be factual original and sourced reporting. These sites often lack institutional procedures to fact check and ensure reliable sources for actual "news" articles.
Media Bias/Fact Check is biased in at least some of their reviews, as evidenced in this quotation: " In review, Medical News Today generally publishes very well-sourced credible medical news that is Pro-Science. However, they also cover alternative medicine, which would be fine if they were discrediting it." They reveal their bias against alternative medicine. "Alternative medicine" is not "one thing" that can be lumped together like this. Alternative Medicine is also not automatically Anti-Science, as is implied here.
Don't trust Fact checkers, especially not this one. It favors fake news on the left, and to true sites that are not on the mainstream media, it labels as conspiracy theory and junk pseudo science, when the truth is just the opposite. This website is as biased and as full of lies as you get.
Some fact check resource, NOT!
I was recently doing some research online, when I noticed mediafactcheck.com.
I read a few of their so-called "Facts" and found they are not facts at all, but rather blaten lies. That's right, LIES! I Probably won't look into it, but would be interesting to know who is funding them.
When making such a statement you should provide an example of where we lied. We are transparent in funding. We do not receive any funding from politicians, organizations or groups. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/funding/
Media Bias Fact Check is supposed to give "objective" ratings to news sites.
Well, I did a little experiment. At random, I checked out 10 sources that they rated at one end of the political spectrum. We'll call this Set A. Then I checked out 10 sources they rated to be at the OPPOSITE end of the spectrum, which we'll call Set B.
For Set A, they listed all the sources as "mostly factual" or "highly factual."
For Set B, however, they listed all the sources as "mixed" (meaning having "mixed" factual content).
Does that sound "objective" to you? And could their OWN bias not be any more obvious?
This site appears to be a total joke.
Considering there are 5000 sources this doesn't seem like a very well constructed study.
Mediabiasfactcheck has been repeatedly caught in lies and distortion of truth. Repeated claims that have proven false about Covid alone are enough to quit using them. Takes going to court to get them to correct lies they publish. It is atotally discredited, self-styled ‘fact-checker' site that has been served with a ‘cease and desist' legal notice for publishing unsubstantiated and defamatory claims against Principia Scientific International (PSI).
You have been misled by poor sources. We have never been taken to court nor received a cease and desist from PSI. Nor changed their review. He is lying. Further, we rely on the consensus of science regarding Covid and all science. If you don't agree with the consensus, that doesn't mean the consensus is wrong.
This website lies in its reviews, its founder and CEO, Dave V. has been caught changing the ratings of news outlets who criticize him and his website for being dishonest. ¹ Do not use this website! ¹ https://www.justfactsdaily.com/media-bias-fact-check-incompetent-or-dishonest
Expansive coverage with 3800 detailed reports makes this site invaluable. By checking results across many other sources, this site compares well as its info dovetails with known excellent standards.
Discounted and dismissed by real fact-checking outfits like Poynter, Mediabiasfactcheck is a small group of amateurs pretending - with varying degrees of success - to be a fact-checking site.
This site does not really fact check website. It used to discredit media sites that do not follow a certain narrative.
Unfortunately it seems this is no exception to the rule that almost all of these are titled politics
Your statement is patently false. A simple search on the website reveals this to be a false statement. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/filtered-search/?bias=Left&factual_reporting=mixed

It would be helpful when making defamatory statements to provide some form of evidence.
