Media Bias Fact Check is a left-wing "fact-checker" owned by Dave Van Zandt which purports to monitor bias in the media. It is similar to Snopes.
Most of Media Bias Fact Check's assessments are wildly inaccurate. For instance, Conservapedia is placed at the very end of the right-wing of the political spectrum (see Conservapedia Derangement Syndrome). Conservapedia is listed under "Questionable Sources" and described as "border[ing] on hate group status." It is accused of promoting "conspiracies" and "fake news." They claim that it, "is not a credible source on any level or by any known criteria."[1]
Media Bias Fact Check also considers Breitbart News as "extreme" and positioned on the "far-right" of the political spectrum.[2] The globalist Fox News Channel is considered strongly right-wing biased and disreputable,[3] and even the neoconservative Wall Street Journal, which has accused YouTuber PewDiePie of being an anti-Semite,[4] is considered very biased to the right.[5]
Prager University is considered "propaganda,"[6] and Rebel News is considered "biased based on story selection that always favours the right."[7]
Media Bias Fact Check demonstrates their double standard and hypocrisy by defending liberal establishment echo chamber Wikipedia as, "Least Biased,"[8] and leftist atheist crackpot operation RationalWiki repeatedly as "pro-science," while simultaneously calling Conservapedia, "right-wing Christian propaganda."[9]
Conservatives have criticized the liberal "fact-checking" website for being subjective and often outright false.[10][11][12] On their "10 Best Fact Checking Sites," they list several objectively false and generally inaccurate left-wing "fact-checkers," including PolitiFact, Snopes, and the Fact Checker by the Washington Post.[13]
Its page on Creation Ministries International gets almost everything wrong, with only three sentences being completely free of error and every other sentence being completely free of fact, even initially getting the organization's name wrong. It frivolously and fraudulently accuses CMI of having "conspiracy' and "pseudoscience" even though nothing that CMI does would qualify for the definition of either of the two words.[14]
