User reviews
Why don't any of these fake-news-bias-checker extensions ever do anything at all? CNN, Fox News, the friggin' Associated Press? Nothing. Just sits there, nothing under it when you click on it. Are they all just malware delivery vehicles for suckers, or what? Reported.
It's left-biased.
It should have a giant "L" for CNN but for some reason they failed to rate it.
FoxNews listed as Right Bias even though they are a mixed bag at best.
ABC and CBS - OK, Left Center.
Twitter/Facebook not rated as leftists.
Buzzfeed, not rated
BabylonBee is good.
Also checked ZeroHedge, Junkscience,
If you're on the left and you want another leftist to hold your hand and tell you that what you already believe is true, knock yourself out.
Great extension. I'm so glad I no longer have to go to mediabiasfactcheck.com every time I want to see a news source's bias. However, I do wish that it showed the bias of the source on next to the link on Google. It would save the burden of having to go to the source's website to see the rating.
Just a general tip: You're better off using sources that show an LC (Left-Center), C (Center) , RC (Right-Center), or PS (Pro-Science) rating. Avoid Q (Questionable) and CP (Conspiracy-Pseudoscience) sites at all costs.
