Hard to keep track of all the recent changes in media ownership, editorial and quality control. Would love a browser plugin to give me an indicator because on the rare occasion I read a publication in say, USA, it might have had a good rep last time I read it several years ago. I imagine managing the detailed scores that a plugin might pull from would be a mammoth task, though.

No way, MBFC utter garbage.
It is one random guys opinion and pushes pro-Zionist content. It’s extremely biased and unfairly rates sites all the time. To see it still pushed after the .world/c/world fiasco is disheartening.

What is the fiasco you refer to?

Mods put in a MBFC bot, everyone saw how shitty and biased it was and rallied against it, mods tried to say the admins forced them to do it, the admins said they didn’t, mods refused to change it despite all that. Eventually after like 6 months of sustained community outrage they got rid of it.

Good recommendation. They have an API and plugins mediabiasfactcheck.com/appsextensions/
I was thinking of something that also alerts me to how many times the publication has been found to have published AI under the name of a human. But Media Bias Fact Check might actually cover that well enough. I’ll install that extension now, thank you!
