Revision as of 10:07, 3 December 2018

Media Bias/Fact Check is a fact-checking organisation that reviews news and media organisations.[1] The site classifies media sources on a political bias spectrum, as well as on the accuracy of their factual reporting. Media Bias/Fact Check describes itself as "the most comprehensive media bias resource on the internet" and they list over 2500 media organisations on their web site.[2] The site is run by founder and editor Dave Van Zant,[3][4] but includes contributions by a team of about a dozen other writers, contributors, and researchers.[5]

Numerous media organisations have praised the site's utility in highlighting 'fake news' and other questionable sources, as well as enabling readers to more easily do thier own fact checking.[4][6][7][8] Based on the ratings by Media Bias/Fact Check, there are Firefox[1] and Chrome[2] browser extensions that highlight the reliability and bias of sources when visiting those sites.[9][10] The site's ratings are also widely used by media sources when discussing the reliability and bias of other media organisations.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]

Data from the site has been used by researchers from MIT and the Qatar Computing Research Institute to train an artificial intelligence machine learning algorithm to identify 'fake news'.[22][23][24] The site has also been used by researchers at the University of Michigan to create a tool called the "Iffy Quotient", which draws data from Media Bias/Fact Check and NewsWhip to track the prevalence of 'fake news' and questionable sources on social media.[25][26][27]

Classifications and Methodology

Media Bias/Fact Check and NewsWhip is open about the methodology and scoring structure that they use to classify sources, describing it in-depth on their web-site.[28][4] Media Bias/Fact Check uses a rating system based on a political spectrum with the ratings for bias as 'extreme left', 'left bias', 'left-center bias', 'least biased', 'right-center bias', 'right bias', and 'extreme right'. For sources that don't fit on the political bias spectrum, the site also uses ratings such as 'pro-science', 'conspiracy/psuedoscience', and 'satire'. Each media source is also rated by the accuracy of their reporting, on a scale including 'very high', 'high', 'mixed', 'low', and 'very low'.[28][4]

Media Bias/Fact Check states that they adhere to the International Fact-Checking Network Fact-checkers’ Code of Principles.[28][29]

Criticism

James D Agresti, writing for Just Facts Daily criticised Media Bias/Fact Check for what he considered an inaccurate review of the sister site Just Facts.[30] Media Bias/Fact Check apologised for the original review, saying that "The [original] reviewer clearly zeroed in on one issue and did not look at the big picture";[30] later stating that the original reviewer is no longer affiliated with their organisation.[31] Just Facts was re-classified as 'least-biased' with a 'high' factual reporting score,[30] although this was later changed to 'right-center bias'.[32] Just Facts Daily holds a similar rating, but is listed separately.[31]

Media Bias/Fact Check was also criticised by World Net Daily (WND), who questioned the qualifications and expertise of the founder and reviewers for the site and listed them with 8 other online fact-checking sources that they called "The 9 fakest fake-news checkers".[33] Media Bias/Fact Check responded, saying that they were "thrilled to be included with Politifact, Snopes, FactCheck.org, and the International Fact-Checking Network (Poynter Institute). These are the best and most credible fact checkers in the business."; adding that WND had contacted Media Bias/Fact Check to complain about their 'far right bias' rating days before the story was posted.[34] The Washington Post also describes WND's political lean as alt-right or far-right.[35][36][37][38], a view shared by Michael Massing of the Columbia Journalism Review.[39]

While some organisations have disagreed with the Media Bias/Fact Check's rating of their political bias,[33][40][30] others, such as The Libertarian Republic, agreed with the rating that they were given, saying that 'high' factual reporting and 'right-center bias' was exactly where they wanted to be.[41]
