D.C. Weekly, the New York News Daily, the Chicago Chronicle and a newer sister publication, the Miami Chronicle.
In fact, they are not local news organizations at all. They are Russian creations, researchers and government officials say, meant to mimic actual news organizations to push Kremlin propaganda by interspersing it among an at-times odd mix of stories about crime, politics and culture.
I also use Biasly if MBFC doesn’t have a record for a particular source. They don’t cover everything, either, and they’re not as comprehensive (and are AI-based), but it’s a somewhat decent second source.I need to re-evaluate Biasly. On further review, it’s not entirely clear how they arrive at their ratings for factual reporting and credibility besides “a magic AI does it”.
I’ve started using https://ground.news a lot. They use MBFC for accuracy/bias, and also group news articles on the same news item, so you can see the differences in bias cross the spectrum (as well as the variable titles used). That shows if only one side is reporting on an issue, or how editorialized the article titles are.
(I’m not a marketing person for ground.news, I just like them)
