    Because it’s biased itself. They whitewash far right conservative sources while listing anything that tries to remain neutral and fact based as having a left bias. Left center to be exact. Then they put far right stuff in “right center” to make you think it’s equivalent.

    Their factual rating is largely subjective as well. With similar amounts of failed fact checks getting different ratings.

    So basically the guys who want to be the guardians of fact and bias are themselves acting in a biased manner instead of an objective one.

      I only ever hear people mention “far right” (not familiar with this bot).

      Are there any sources that you, yourself, would consider “right center”?

        Bloomberg, Forbes, and Fox News jump to mind.

        Edit - you know looking at Bloomberg’s site again I think you could make an argument for it but it does appear to be mostly concerned with fact based news centered on the finance industry. I’m just used to seeing shit guest opinion articles from them.

        Edit edit - in their place I offer up CNBC with their personal finance propaganda perpetually trying to convince Americans they just aren’t budgeting well enough.
