Environment of fake news websites.
May 8th, 2021 at 8:27am
 
This thread will be for posting website checkers.

Here's one:
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/

We are the most comprehensive media bias resource on the internet. There are currently 3700+ media sources and journalists listed in our database and growing every day. Don’t be fooled by Fake News sources. Use the search feature above (Header) to check the bias of any source. Use name or URL.


Examples:
website known as daily headlines:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-headlines/

QUESTIONABLE SOURCE

A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for the purpose of profit or influence (Learn More). Sources listed in the Questionable Category may be very untrustworthy and should be fact checked on a per article basis. Please note sources on this list are not considered fake news unless specifically written in the reasoning section for that source. See all Questionable sources.

So let's try a well known news source:

CNN
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/cnn/

LEFT BIAS

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation.  They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.

    Overall, we rate CNN left biased based on editorial positions that consistently favor the left, while straight news reporting falls left-center through bias by omission. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks by TV hosts. However, news reporting on the website tends to be properly sourced with minimal failed fact checks

Detailed Report

Bias Rating: LEFT
Factual Reporting: MIXED
Country: USA (45/180 Press Freedom)
Media Type: TV Station
Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic
MBFC Credibility Rating: MEDIUM CREDIBILITY

Covering Climate Now is a fake news website. It publishes opinion as science.

https://coveringclimatenow.org/

The Covering Climate Now propaganda effort was “co-founded by the Columbia Journalism Review and The Nation in association with The Guardian and WNYC in 2019, CCNow’s 460-plus partners include some of the biggest names in news”  with the stated purpose of  “to produce more informed and urgent climate stories, to make climate a part of every beat in the newsroom”. 

The 460 partners list -

The United Nations and all its branches has ceased to be the organisation that was created as WW2 was ending to help and foster struggling nations get back up on their feet.

The United Nations along with other similar organisations have been taken over by the oligarchy and through the United Nations the oligarchy is shaping the world to its liking in every nation on Earth.

Its climate change branch the IPCC are shaping government policy (billions of dollars) in every nation on Earth all based on their failed computer model climate change theory.

How can people be so stupid as to spend billions of tax payer dollars on a theory that has been proven wrong by observations in nature.

I say the UN has run its course, death to the UN and all it encompasses today.
