Ratings and Reviews
I don’t know why the app exists.
I don’t have a paid membership but I do have a membership on the website. I don’t know how to sign in. What’s the point of the app if it locks you out and takes you to the website that also locks you out. Either have me sign in or play ads.
Punishes Progressives Media
At first glance you would assume this app simply first goes by how factual the source is and put’s the source as high up the charts based on how factual the source is and then move it as far right or left as the source is. But that’s not true as a lot of Progressive sources that don’t fail fact checkers are ranked lower than other sources that fail a ton of them.
Media Bias Fact Check is a good way to check the number of times a source has failed a fact checker in the past 5 years. The Lever, The American Prospect and Common Dreams haven’t failed near the number of fact checkers that sources like Fox News and CNN do yet Fox News and CNN are always ranked higher on Ad Fontes
This is because Ad Fontes is funded to promote sources who are anti-union and anti-livable wage and who are against the rich paying their fair share of taxes.
Note: I’ve had it out with Media Bias Fact Check too over their take of TYT because they rank TYT on the same level as Fox News even with Fox News failing far more fact checkers BUT to Media Bias Fact Check’s credit they do rank Common Dreams, The Lever and American Prospect high for their factual reporting
Where does the news I read/watch project from?
I appreciate these ratings, especially during recent times, to help me understand where the news I read/watch comes from so I can be sure to find the best balance that will offer me more facts and less opinion. Thank you! Well done on the app so the most recent ratings can be seen! - clsm
