Facts often are an inconvenience to the right, therefore no need for fact checkers.

IMO BBC's fact checker, while not that extensive, was very unbiased compared to the American fact checkers, the exception might be Snopes who I found to be quite truthful.

Given the massive polarization going on the in the US there is almost no unbiased media source, even social media sang big tech have pushed hard at leftists agendas.

One just needs to go to Reddit.com/r/politics to see how right wing views are suppressed

International BBC has so much reporters with biases in their articles with a left lean. I'm surprised to see them in the centre.

You know, just recently I wondered about Daniel Dale and he's nowhere to be seen now that Dems are in power, and the fact that on CNN the word "lie" has been replaced by "untruth."

Everyone is biased, what matters is your ability to pick out see through them even if you agree with what was stated otherwise you just fall into echo chambers and fall victim to propaganda.

Take a look at your chart.

Read the caption at the top.

Try to make sense out of how the source is rated.

Now, you should be able to more fully understand the chart.

The first thing that you learn in Academia is to look at various sources and form your own opinion. MSM has their own agenda. The truth is out there!

OP's post has some inherent bias :)

Allsides wrote:Does a Center Rating Mean Neutral, Unbiased, and Better?
Center doesn't mean better! A Center media bias rating does not always mean neutral, unbiased or reasonable, just as "far Left" and "far Right" do not always mean "extreme," "wrong," or "unreasonable." A Center bias rating simply means the source or writer rated does not predictably publish opinions favoring either end of the political spectrum — conservative or liberal. A media outlet with a Center rating may omit important perspectives, or run individual articles that display bias, while not displaying a lot of predictable bias frequently. Center outlets can be difficult to determine, and a case can often be made for them leaning one way or the other.

While it may be easy to think that we should only consume media from Center outlets, AllSides believes Center is not necessarily the answer. By reading only Center outlets, we may still encounter bias and omission of important issues and perspectives. For this reason, it is important to consume a balanced news diet across the spectrum. Learn more about what an AllSides Media Bias Rating™ of Center rating means here.

Center doesn't mean better. You can think of our bias ratings as points of view, each providing pieces of the puzzle, so that we may have a more holistic view.
