| 2021-02-03 |  | | 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. | |
| 2020-10-02 |  | | 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. | |
| 2020-09-10 |  | | 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. | |

| 2020-07-17 |  | | It's great that this exists. However, as others have mentioned, the data is out of date. In some ways, this extension is now doing a disservice to the community by offering inaccurate information without providing any clues that it may no longer be accurate. For example, as of 7/17/20, the extension shows The Guardian as having High factual reporting. According to archive.org, that site has had a Mostly Factual or Mixed rating since at least 4/22/20—3 months ago. I also find it odd that the author, Jeffrey Carl Faden, uses "Official Media Bias Fact Check" in the title of this extension, without providing evidence of his relationship to the site. | |
| 2020-06-22 |  | | Extension works well for the most part, but it doesn't show the most current information from the MBFC website. For example, Huffpost is still rated as having a "mostly factual" credibility rating, but the MBFC website rates Huffpost as having a "mixed" factual rating as of 6/22/2020. Also, some websites that have pages on the MBFC website are not recognized by this extension, either. | |
| 2020-01-23 | Doug Myerscough | | Works very well. Fair assesments of bias although I know there is no scientific way to judge. The fact checking is in line with all of the most reliable fact checking sites. | |
| 2020-01-10 |  | | It works on most sites and makes sense. | |
| 2020-01-04 |  | | Went to CNN. This extension gave me a blank stare, and shrugged its shoulders. Works quite a few other places, but can't work on CNN? | |
| 2019-10-28 |  | | Fantastic and easy way to instantly evaluate the quality of the news source you're viewing! |
