    Probably not the case for the original creator of the post, who seems to live in China.

    MBFC for Caixin Global:

      Lol MBFC, the website that calls CNN a left leaning source. Might as well ask rats what they think of cats.

      Media Bias Fact Check is, in itself, biased. Still, this rating isn’t that bad. They aren’t the best source (if you assume MBFC is honest), but far from the worst.

        You may not be wrong, and I understand what you’re trying to convey, but I don’t think I could’ve conjured a more lukewarm response.

        Do you have any alternatives you consider less biased? Claiming this, or anything like it, has its own biases seems needlessly tautological.

          It’s not tautological, especially as it purports to be a standard of truth. If it were tautological, that claim would be nonsense.

          Anyway, there are other alternatives. I do know there was a time where you’d be heavily criticized on Lemmy for using MBFC, as they’re fairly heavily neo-liberal/status-quo biased.

          However, I’m not proposing to use one of those alternatives either though (though they may be better). I’m stating that the “MBFC says this” argument is pretty weak. It’s not engaging with the actual content, or trying to check it. It’s purely, at best, an ad hominem in an attempt to dismiss it, without concern for what it says. You’re allowed to use your own brain on occasion. You don’t have to fall back on someone else telling you if you’re allowed to engage with something or not.
