Wtf, do you have a source for this? Cause like I’m seeing all kinds of claims being thrown around on threads with no one providing sources.

ETA: Nonbiased sources. Not just the first article you find. If you don’t know if your source is nonbiased or not, you can always double check on mediabiasfactcheck.

But who honestly trusts mediabiasfactcheck?

I have been using them for years and have thus far not been steered wrong with nonbiased news sources. They explain in detail their reasoning for labeling a news source as well as explain the algorithm they use. And so far the only people I’ve come across who dont like them are people who prefer to be told how to feel instead of looking for facts.

I just looked up a handful of news sources on there and was overall satisfied with their assessments. My assumption though is that even the "bias checkers" have to have their own internal bias.
