Media Bias Fact Check

Media Bias Fact Check is a left-wing "fact-checker" owned by Dave Van Zandt which purports to monitor bias in the media.

In terms of political perspective it is similar to Snopes, and most of Media Bias Fact Check's assessments are wildly inaccurate.

Conservapedia is placed at the very end of the right-wing of the political spectrum; it is listed under "Questionable Sources" and described as "border[ing] on hate group status." It is accused of promoting "conspiracies" and "fake news," and that it "is not a credible source on any level or by any known criteria." Its page on Creation Ministries International is almost entirely incorrect, with only three sentences being free of error, and in one instance it spells 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. Contrary to capitalization rules regarding proper names, Media Bias Fact Check has refused to capitalize the word "Bible" in at least one of its review pages. Prager University is considered "propaganda," and Rebel News is considered "biased based on story selection that always favours the right."

Media Bias Fact Check considers Breitbart News as "extreme" and positioned on the "far-right" of the political spectrum. The globalist Fox News Channel is considered strongly right-wing biased and disreputable, and even the neoconservative Wall Street Journal, which has accused YouTuber PewDiePie of being an anti-Semite, is considered very biased to the right.

Media Bias Fact Check demonstrates its double standard and hypocrisy by defending progressive echo chamber Wikipedia as "Least Biased," and leftist atheist crackpot operation RationalWiki repeatedly as "pro-science," while simultaneously calling Conservapedia, "right-wing Christian propaganda." It states that "Christianity is a set of dogmatic beliefs, which is opposed to Science which is a method that strictly avoids dogma" in its Christian Science article.

Criticism

Conservatives have criticized the liberal "fact-checking" website for being subjective and often outright false. 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.
