Ratings and Reviews
I don’t know why the app exists.
I don’t have a paid membership but I do have a membership on the website. I don’t know how to sign in. What’s the point of the app if it locks you out and takes you to the website that also locks you out. Either have me sign in or play ads.
Reliability Rating Isn’t Based on Fact Checks
If you’re looking for a Media Bias Chart that factors in how often a source passes or fails a Fact Checker then you need to look somewhere else. Ad Fontes Reliability rating has nothing to do with how factual the source is. CNN for instance is listed as a highly reliable source even though they have failed a lot of fact checks. WSJ is another source rated high that has failed a good amount of fact checks. Common Dreams which hasnt failed any fact checks is rated on the same level as Fox News which has failed a ton of fact checks. Matter of fact if you click to open Common Dreams sample scores, the articles they provide don’t lead you to a fact checker like Politifact, it leads you to the article itself.
If you’re looking for a Media Bias Chart that uses number of passes or failed fact checkers to determine how factual a source is, go with Media Bias Fact Check. They show you exactly which articles that the source failed a fact checker.
Per usual lies spread freely while truth is behind a paywall
This is actually a great resource to compare news sites and share info with others but unfortunately they decided to limit the searches and direct you to their website. The chart on the website straight up doesn’t work on mobile. The app is so much better. They say they have a membership but you can’t even login on the app. So they purposely gimped their app and then broke their website and then still ask for money? I’m sorry as good as the information is it’s not worth it.
