    MBFC, a site run by one guy for which nothing is known (other than that he shares a name with a highly respected lawyer and professor). Truly the bastion of free and honest journalism. His methodology for grading has… No methodology. It’s entirely subjective.

    MBFC also rates the Electronic Intifada and Moon of Alabama as having never failed a fact check. Can I start posting EI articles, too?

      It’s one data point, and I wouldn’t rely solely on the Media Bias/Fact Check website. It’s a useful tool, but not the end all be all authority on bias and factual reporting. If you have something similar or better I’d love to see it.

      They describe their methodology on each page, along with multiple links to multiple sources citing direct examples.

        Their methodology is literally “this is the number I feel like they deserve”

          Only if you don’t read anything on the page and ignore all of the evidence they present.
