Hard to keep track of all the recent changes in media ownership, editorial and quality control. Would love a browser plugin to give me an indicator because on the rare occasion I read a publication in say, USA, it might have had a good rep last time I read it several years ago. I imagine managing the detailed scores that a plugin might pull from would be a mammoth task, though.
It is one random guys opinion and pushes pro-Zionist content. It’s extremely biased and unfairly rates sites all the time. To see it still pushed after the .world/c/world fiasco is disheartening.
I was thinking of something that also alerts me to how many times the publication has been found to have published AI under the name of a human. But Media Bias Fact Check might actually cover that well enough. I’ll install that extension now, thank you!
