    They had one false claim. I mean usually you’d expect 0 but MBFC’s bias is very obvious here and in other cases. It’s one guy’s personal project why do we take it so seriously?

    BTW from MBFC

    Despite the biased presentation, articles are generally well-sourced to credible media outlets.

      It’s not just about false claims but also general bias. And calling Biden a white supremacist is also a false claim and stupidly biased, to the point of just being ridiculous. No sane person is going to take you seriously with such a rhetoric.

        I’m talking about the factuality rating. I have issues with their bias system as well, but not in this case.

        Edit: Good point about the white supremacy part, though I do think it’s passable-ish for an opinion piece. Also I went to fact check their fact check and

        “According to a police source, the investigation also shows that an IDF combat helicopter that arrived to the scene and fired at terrorists there apparently also hit some festival participants,” Haaretz states.

        MBFC is just shoddy work all around, and from what I’ve seen leans slightly conservative and pro-Israel, if not directly then through its reliance on sources like the ADL.
