The tesseract Lemmy app, has a little overview from mediabiasfactcheck.com (MBFC). It seems like a clever way to foster a healthy community.

If you click on the ranking you get details.

ranking details for CNN

EDIT: Sorry to stir up an old hornet's nest.

EDIT2: Commenters have some valid criticisms of MBFC. Even if there are flaws, I would like to celebrate all attempts at elevating the conversations we are having.

Firefox and ublock are your friend.

This site doesn't rate articles. It rates news sources. So you just have to look up what they rated the post as.

These ratings appear to b based on US sensibilities and not the rest of the world. So everything skews more to the left than it really is.

Probably considering it considers radio free Asia and voice of America news good sources.

That is an extremely important distinction! Thanks!

Edit: that wasn’t sarcasm. I honestly think it’s a valuable thing to know and remember.
