https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-japan-news/ They're not too bad apparently, but there is a lot of misinformation coming out of Japan asking for money: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20240102_11/

I tapped/slashed/exed through all the pop-ups and other ads that are docked to one or more edges of the screen on that site so other readers don’t have to:

Overall, we rate The Japan News Right-Center biased based on story selection that slightly favors the right. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.

Thanks for taking one for the team, I have an adblocker on so I didn't even know it did that.

I have an ad blocker in my desktop browser, but when I tap a link in Voyager, it opens in the app (without ad blocking). I can usually work around it by toggling Reader Mode, so it’s no biggie.
