Skepticism is healthy in this day and age, but that site is also biased btw. Even the founder says their methodology isn’t unbiased.
When determining bias, there isn’t any true scientific formula that is 100% objective. There are objective measures that can be calculated, but ultimately there will be some subjective judgment to determine these. We have put up a scale with a yellow dot on each page that shows the degree of bias for each source. Each page also has a “detailed report” section that gives some details about the source and explains their bias.
When calculating bias, we are looking at political bias, how factual the information is, and links to credible, verifiable sources. Therefore, the yellow dot may indicate political bias or how factual a source is, or in many cases, both. It is important to note that our bias scale is based on the USA political scale, which may differ from other countries. For example, the Democratic Party of the USA is considered centrist or even right-center in many countries worldwide; however, in the USA, they are considered Left-Center. Please keep this in mind if our ratings seem off in your native country. (08/08/2022)
It’s a site run by one guy and 3 volunteers. Not really the greatest source.
It’s impossible to remove bias, but my link still directly links to some of the outlandish and sometimes outright false things mintpress has published. I won’t be worrying about my covid biochip anytime soon
Media Bias Fact Check, truly the paragon of reliable news. It directly claims that bias and accuracy are strongly correlated (and thus that centrism is in fact the most accurate), which can’t be true sheerly because US media as a whole is biased away from center by the political climate of the US.
Moreover, MBFC considers institutions like VOA and Center for Democracy and Technology to be “least biased” despite them being part of the US Agency for Global Media, which REQUIRES outlets to be consistent with the broad foreign policy objectives of the United States.
You’re not evaluating media bias, you’re evaluating media alignment with US policy.
Not saying this isn’t possibly legit, but
