Hey, Tim. Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply. A word about NewsGuard. I just read a piece they did on pink slime sites. They include legitimate, fact-based newsrooms like States Newsroom and Courier News outlets as pink slime, so, that’s disqualifying to me. Similarly, I just did a quick review of how adfontes “rates” AL.com. They put a “left” bias score on a piece that was just a guide to Pride Month events. Newsrooms should serve their communities and LGBTQ people are people and there is no bias in providing an event list to readership about a month long, annual event. I find media bias sites to be highly subjective. They place far too much emphasis on a misguided interpretation of bias when their guiding star should simply be adherence to fact and the level of contextualizing information and transparency that the journalism contains.
