  • Seems like another valuable resource! Glad to have another source to help evaluate what I read.

    Some of the “Overall Scores” from Ad Fontes seem odd to me, but still pretty good. I think most of the articles they evaluate are user-submitted, and that might skew their scores as it’s not a random sampling. I would choose to weigh articles in a differently, but that’s just my personal opinion and it doesn’t negate the benefit.

    Specifically, I would point out the “Individual Content Sample Scores” vs the “Overall Score” for Al Jazeera as an oddity. https://adfontesmedia.com/al-jazeera-bias-and-reliability/ In my opinion, Al Jazeera has a lot of good reporting, but also has a strong bias that effects their overall credibility. I still like reading them, but I wish they would remain more focused on objective facts rather than opinion.
