      Note that mediabiasfactcheck.com is just the personal project of a random right-liberal American healthcare worker; it is not actually some kind of neutral arbiter of bias, and in fact it’s heavily biased itself.

          My point is, you may as well just post a random guy on twitter saying “yeah, I think AP new is pretty legit” and it would be as meaningful as posting mediabiasfactcheck.
