    It is itself extremely biased, you believed an authority that isn’t neutral.

        They’re incredibly pro-Israel and anti-anything else in the middle east. Reputable information gets a lower reliability rating from them “just because”.

      To my knowledge they have been criticized for being biased, but from what I can find their ratings don’t differ drastically from other providers.

        Their problem is that any news agency in the middle east is automatically “untrustworthy” with quotes like “they haven’t been found to report false stories, but we still give them an untrustworthy rating”.

          Do you have examples of reputable sources from the middle east that have an unfair rating?

            I already gave you the examples, I said that they unfairly represent middle eastern news as untrustworthy. Or are you here to nitpick and “um ackthcshually”?

              You have provided 0 examples of a middle eastern news source that is unfairly ranked.

              Are you going to keep being combative and waste both of our time refusing to answer a simple good faith question?

                From their own description of Al Jazeera

                Al Jazeera has been a valuable voice for the Palestinians as most Western media favors Israel. While most of its reporting has been factual in covering the conflict they have demonstrated one-sided reporting that tends to denigrate Israel.

                Mixed for factual reporting. They cite 2 articles that they have found to be false since forever. They complain about “loaded language”. Yet they say “straight news has minimal bias”. Then they give Times of Israel “high credibility” and speak how unbiased their language is, giving the same examples as they gave in the Al Jazeera one for “biased language”.

                High credibility is 2 “levels” higher than the middle of the field “mixed”.

                  Do you have examples of other bias/fact check sources that contradict the score from MBFS?

                    Jfc you aren’t talking to a search engine. Want to search, ask google. I directly provided info on their bias. The entire thing was controversial like a year ago here on lemmy. I’m not a monkey to be jumping through hoops to prove something to you. Don’t want to believe me even after I provided the example, don’t, I don’t care.
