A new analysis reveals the extraordinary left-wing bias of website ratings firm NewsGuard, which should concern every American given that it is expanding its reach into cable and broadcast TV news. Liberal outlets were rated 27 points higher on average than news organizations on the right.
MRC Free Speech America analyzed the NewsGuard ratings of media outlets based on a list compiled by AllSides classified by their “bias” on a left-to-right scale. The average NewsGuard score for the “left” and “lean left” outlets — which included leftist outlets like Jacobin and The Nation — was 93/100. While the average rating for “right” and “lean right” outlets — which included Fox News, Washington Times and New York Post — was a low 66/100. That’s a 27 point disparity.
According to NewsGuard’s skewed ratings, left-leaning outlets have substantially more “credibility” on average than right-leaning outlets.

This American brain is immune to all communist propaganda. And I know I speak for millions. Can I get a witness?
NewsGuard is a website ratings firm that gives scores for a plethora of news sites based on its own interpretation of which outlet provides reliable information. It’s the most dangerous censorship organization on the internet right now. It is going to be expanding its operations to rate TV anc cable news now, which given this study, is going to heavily favor liberal broadcast networks like NBC, CBS and ABC and cable networks like CNN. It is literally an Orwellian Ministry of Truth.
The Woke Commercial movement is now every Commercial on T.V.
Like “Politifact” and “Factcheck”. Truth in labeling need not apply.
Yes.
If you have to keep creating outside leftwing “fact checkers” to propagandize on your behalf that your leftwing propaganda is credible, then it really isn’t.
There were no “fact checkers” until the truth started coming out about the Clintons.
Fact checkers = Thought police. “Misinformation” often simply means “deviation from current official accounts”. It is a word crafted to impugn (call into question) the informer. Information is right, or it is wrong, or it’s someone’s opinion. A lot of opinions are either “proven”, “suspected”, “speculation”, “guesses”, “mistakes”, or “lies” and should be labeled as such.
