    Hey, just as a heads up we discourage the posting of " media bias checkers" here because it is intellectually sloppy to outsource whether you should trust a source to some guy who has their own bias. And MBFC is just some guy, who has no credentials and doesn’t do any sort of scientific analysis to determine his ratings.

    Please reply acknowledging you understand this within 48 hours.

      Dunno what they said but wouldn’t using MBFC and my own knowledge be better than just my own knowledge and my own biases?

        I guess I see it like this: if I think something is inaccurate should I debunk it or should I post “this random right winger online says it isn’t credible” (and MBFC is a right winger, but not a fascist)

        Bro. They aren’t even saying you’re wrong here. They’re saying it’s their sub, stop the bias check because your literally just supplying people with your bias. If it were ai you’d have more of a point but it’s quite literally your opinion based on your references and they don’t want that.

        Stop crying and certainly don’t lash out with idiotic and frankly weird commentary on it being somehow antisemitic for people to think critically on their own.

        Specifically they never said you couldn’t post your references and your opinion just don’t call it a fact check.

        Oh wow, you’re conflating Israel and Jewishness, a common example of antisemitism. Lovely.
