I know MediaBiasFactCheck is not a be-all-end-all to truth/bias in media, but I find it to be a useful resource.
It makes sense to downvote it in posts that have great discussion – let the content rise up so people can have discussions with humans, sure.
But sometimes I see it getting downvoted when it’s the only comment there. Which does nothing, unless a reader has rules that automatically hide downvoted comments (but a reader would be able to expand the comment anyways…so really no difference).
What’s the point of downvoting? My only guess is that there’s people who are salty about something it said about some source they like. Yet I don’t see anyone providing an alternative to MediaBiasFactCheck…
MBFC is ran by a Zionist and rates obvious israeli lobbies such as the ADL as highly credible. Even when MBFC admits they are israeli lobby groups in their description.
MBFC serves no other purpose than to push liberal Zionist narratives which coincidentally happens to be exactly the positions of the Democrats

Kinda weird that you’re referring to democrats as a whole as Zionists when there are literally pro-Palestinian democrats in congress, never mind regular people who vote democrat. Their party as a whole isn’t unified on the matter but to equate democrats with zionism isn’t exactly accurate either.
The democratic party, as a whole, is pro-business, pro-Israel, and center-right. One only need listen to their podcasts to confirm this.
I listen to Al Franken’s podcast on occasion because I used to like his show before I went Left. I check in once in a while and he says things openly that they don’t say officially, like how funding Ukraine is meant to bleed Russia’s economy (I’m no simp for Russia; I just want Ukraine not to be invaded rather than wanting a proxy-war). I listened to a handful of PodSave back in the day. I couldn’t get into them even before I went hard Left. These are the two that are familiar to me.
I don’t know about the bot or the politics of the person behind it. But there are very much positions of “the Dems.” I’m voting for Harris because fuck fascism, but it’s amazing to me that Dems in the USA are closer to the right wing in Europe than to the Left in Europe. People should notice. Sure, our Repubs are batshit crazy to the right in a way that only the most extreme appear to be in Europe, but that doesn’t mean it’s ok that we have very little actual Left in the USA.
Apologies for errors and steam of consciousness. It’s early and I don’t have time to proofread before work.
You do know that Democrats receive even more money from israeli lobbies than Republicans right?
And that Joe Biden literally calls himself a Zionist
I refer you to my previous statement friend.
I refer you to my previous statement.
Extremists never let reality get in the way of their absolutist slurs.
Imagine calling people advocating against literal Genocode extremists.
Where did I say that?
Where did I say you said that?
As opposed to the anti-Zionist Republicans? The fuck are you talking about?
As opposed to the anti Zionist third parties such as Cornel West and Jill Stein.
Do you believe Republicans are liberal?
