      I looked into why it’s rated mixed. The failed fact checks are total nonsense - there are five of them.

      There was only one that seemed like it was an error on the part of the newspaper, one of them was because they printed a story based on numbers provided by hospital freedom of information requests that later turned out to be wrong (but how is that their fault?) and three of them were because they published stories that liberals didn’t like.

      What a fucking joke of a fact check website. Get this right-wing shite fucking deleted.

        Seems you’d want to understand # of errors/omissions/mistruths as a proportion of total news stories, and the impact of and reason for those issues.

        Get a sense Guardian is quite trustworthy but it would require a much more extensive look than the fact checker appears to have taken (and obviously than I’ve taken). Thanks for recommending caution here.

        Due to Sync, it is always an eyesore of huge images due to the multiple links. I just blocked the bot so I can move on. I should dig through my settings again to find a happy medium.

        Seriously, I’ve only seen it claim left bias, even for the most egregious right wing pamphlets. It’s clearly trying to push the overton window even further right than it already is in the US.

        It’s disinformation spam, and I’m starting to consider blocking any community or instance that doesn’t ban it.
