2019-07-09 | Damla Ozdalga | Super helpful extension and works very well with many sources - would highly recommend! It's impossible to be familiar with every news source and this does a good job of assessing and helping you filter the noise | ||

2019-05-18 | Bryan Stark | The idea is 5-star but implementation is 2-star, e.g. 3-star total IMHO. For example it claims that CNN is a highly credible "slightly center left leaning" source, when they are the epitome of fake-news! So credibility is based upon how wide-spread the news is world-wide, i.e. "wide-spread." However, if you could count how many times they went with fake stories that they had to retract, they would definitely be low-credible source. To be fair they are mostly correct on a binary level; they correctly identify news that caters to the left or right of center, even if they incorrectly portray to what degree. | ||
