Going to the garbage bin for your news will only get you BS.

Overall, we rate The Blaze strongly Right Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of conspiracy theories and numerous failed fact checks. (7/19/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 03/11/2021)

Interesting you NEVER fact check the ultra l*****t sources that are caught lying every day and have a proven record of 0 credibility.
Sources like CNN, MSNBC, NYT et al.

It’s on multiple news sites. Which ones do you find credible?

Kraken Loc: Barry's Bay

Mostly in the center....

Don’t rely on others to tell you whats credible.

The story was reported in the NY Times. The link is in the article. This is why you should do your own checking and not rely on an armchair critic.

So why do you go to the garbage dump for your news and information?
The stuff that makes it there has been picked through when in the garbage bin.

If you take a creful look at the chart you will see the most watched sites are on the left. TThe overwhelming number of people get theie news from left wing sources , ABC. NBC. CBS. CNN. MSNBC, NY Times .AS far as TV is concerned over 90% of the audience gets its news from left biased sources.No wonder democrats outnumber republicans. And dont gives me the crap that FOX does this, that, or anythying else. Fox only has about 5% of the total TV viewership

You mentioned Independent Journal Review as one in the middle. Here is their report. Unless, I'm missing something, there report is even more condemning than the one i originally posted

Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) is an American website founded in 2015 by editor Dave Van Zandt.[1] The website has been described as an amateur effort to rate news media sources based on factual accuracy and political bias.[2]


Chart showing the degree of bias rating given to CNN
Sites are rated on a 0–10 scale by Van Zandt and his team using categories such as biased wording and headlines, factuality and sourcing, and story choices.[2] The team is comprised of four writers/contributors (Aaron O'Leary, Karen O'Connor Rubsam, Kenneth White, and Jim Fowler) and the team has three researchers (Dennis Kelley, Michael Allen, and McKenzie Huitsing.)[1] Mike Crowe, another team member, handles extensions and factual searches. [1]

The Columbia Journalism Review describes Media Bias/Fact Check as an amateur attempt at categorizing media bias and Van Zandt as an "armchair media analyst".[2] The Poynter Institute notes, "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."[3]

The site has been used by researchers at the University of Michigan to create a tool called the "Iffy Quotient", which draws data from Media Bias/Fact Check and NewsWhip to track the prevalence of "f**e news" and questionable sources on social media.[4][5][6]
