It wasn’t “possibly illegal”, it was just plainly illegal.

    MB/FC is extremely biased and mostly reflects a single American “centrist” (really a right winger because America has two right wing parties)'s assessment of media. Largely MB/FC stands to normalize right leaning media coverage. This is particularly problematic when looking at topics like the Gaza Strip

      Even then its POV is absolutely right of center in the US.

      If one is going to look at politics through a “the center doesn’t exist” lens, that’s not functionally better than if MB/FC was biased in favor of the left.

        The center does exist. But the center of American Politics is right wing globally

          Yeah that’s true, I’ve seen international liberal spout rhetoric I’d normally associate with centrists.

          But trying to map international overton windows with America’s doesn’t always work. Left wing and right wing liberal parties in the UK for example don’t map perfectly with the purported values of the Democrat and Republican parties in America.
