    And of course those running the News Guard app do not have an agenda oh no siree they will be completely unbiased.

    Except they cannot be because that would not make them any money and so they will have a backer whose views will be represented in the what their app tells you about a certain site.

    whatever you are still getting your news through someone else's filter.

      Every news outlet has an agenda. They don't all routinely publish tulipe about vaccines.

        Well the DM has shot itself in the foot, I think its fine to be outspoken and go against the grain but it should be factual.

        Saying that the Guardian is just as bad its just better at delivering opinion based articles as fact.

        The Independent is the worst though, just awful.

          There is a degree of false equivalence. The Mail is shocking on 'sciencey' stuff, vaccines being an example. This is why they should be called out, although the Edge business is odd unless it is aimed at winding up the gammonocracy.

            The Guardian is good at delivering opinion based articles as fact.

            Sadly its articles in the opinion section are awful. As awful as the Fail's.....

              Yes, I have no doubt that you do.

              That is doubtless what makes you so "interesting".

                Conspiracy, conspiracy everywhere. Do you look under your bed each night before getting into it? Strange that News Guard thinks Fox News is okay though. You might want to have a look who works there and who their advisory board is before spouting off
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  I didn't used to find the gammon thing annoying until you started using it in every sentence.

                  The Guardian distorts fact and is quite insidious. The recent business with Jordan Peterson is a prime example of shutting down views and opinions that you don't agree with and presenting opinion as facts.

                      It is not conspiracy really.

                      It is very difficult today to get the facts on anything

                      even a live report will only tell you some facts

                      and by the time it hits the papers it has gone from fact to someone's opinion of the fact

                      News Guard is just another filter someone is putting on the already very filtered 'news'
