What a bunch of cowards.
They clearly are afraid of doing one too many fact checking and offending one of Trump's minions.
I think it was more about low usage, and there being better options out there that did the same thing
I never knew Google had a fact checking service.
But i can (maybe) recommend a alternative Media Bias Fact Check
Also has a browser extension for Chromium/Chrome and Firefox
edit: due to the comments i did some background check they seem fine for some stuff but i saw they rate ADL as "left-center" and i know ADL is Israeli propaganda
edit 2: I recommend comparing MBFC With this list
Mbfc is just one dude’s opinion. Also he calls the associated press and CNN leftist news outlets. It’s quite stupid.
Mbfc is just one dude’s opinion.
oh its ran by one dude?
CNN leftist news outlets
that was my red flag when i saw them for the first time
Mbfc is ok but is itself biased towards Western and Pro-Israel content.
Is there proof?
What do you mean “is there proof”.
MBFC isnt some professional shit. It’s some guys opinions about websites.
It’ll call something like the economist which has endorsed the UK conservative party in the past decade “center left” for not being straight up facist.
It’s not a very high quality thing.
alr then thats what i needed
edit: i didnt understand this correctly
Best is to just actually look at their rating for places you know of or trust. Then go to any that cover middle east heavily. But easist is to look at USA propaganda orgs like Radio Free Asia where while they say they rank down propaganda sources are happy to rank it highly
okay thanks
