The tesseract Lemmy app, has a little overview from mediabiasfactcheck.com (MBFC). It seems like a clever way to foster a healthy community.

If you click on the ranking you get details.

EDIT: Sorry to stir up an old hornet’s nest.

EDIT2: Commenters have some valid criticisms of MBFC. Even if there are flaws, I would like to celebrate all attempts at elevating the conversations we are having.

    reminiscent of a malware site

    Well, that’s because it is malware.

    it, is to me at least, right leaning

    It’s not right leaning.

    It’s disinformation malware whose sole purpose is to move the Overton window as far right as possible.

    It labels anything short of outright fascism as far left.

      I’m against MBFC for many reasons but it isn’t actually malware. It’s a shitty site that wants your info and has dark patterns galore, but it isn’t malware.

          That’s not what malware means and you know it. Again, I don’t like MBFC. I don’t support or use then at all. But malware is a specific thing. Let’s stick to the facts as the facts about them are bad enough on their own.
