I’d be curious to read your analysis of MBFC (mediabiasfactcheck.com). They seem to go more in depth on the history & ownership of the outlets. They also label the blatant propaganda sites and conspiracy sites as questionable sources, such as RT.
I do agree that we need a journalism v. propaganda breakdown on these sites. I’m not aware of any that currently make it that black & white.

They'll never adopt a journalism v. propaganda frame. Like corporate media, the business model depends on a "bothsides" frame so that they can include sites that appeal to all potential clients. Many of these companies make money by selling services to business and organizations. Like I say in the piece I can't really recommend any of them, but certainly they can serve as a first stop as one researches the outlets they use/see. And in that sense, MBFC was definitely the best one I came across. It provided the most background information on outlets and had lots more information about ownership in my cursory review.
