    One of these days, I’ll need to look into fact checkers’ evaluations of Fox News as a news source. How the heck are they rated farther to the right and less credible than Breitbart? That makes no sense to me.

      Breitbart is rated a tick further to the right with the same credibility rating as far as I can tell.

        Interesting, last I checked they weren’t but maybe their rating got updated or I was looking at a rating from a different organization.

      MBFC is garbage. I’m honestly surprised they rate Fox this poorly.

        I actually agree with all their ratings except their Fox News rating.

          They rate at least one source poorly for daring to use the word “genocide” for what’s happening in Gaza. You still agree with all their ratings?

            Depends on how poorly they rated them. They definitely deserve negative remarks for that since it’s an unproven claim.
