    No way, MBFC utter garbage.

    It is one random guys opinion and pushes pro-Zionist content. It’s extremely biased and unfairly rates sites all the time. To see it still pushed after the .world/c/world fiasco is disheartening.

    It calls CNN a left wing outlet.

    CNN is a left biased outlet. That's not controversial to say.

    I think you missed the news about them getting bought up and completely gutted by a Nazi a few years ago.

    Anyone that buys a news agency wants to maintain/increase click through and retention. They are going to continue to cater to their demographic, no matter who buys them. Billionaires literally care about one thing. They don't care what the news site is saying as long as it keeps people reading and coming back. They would tank the entire company if they tried to convert it to right leaning media.

    They are going to make right leaning media to get click from the right, and left leaning media for the left. They are not going to leave a dollar on the table. If you can find a right biased article from CNN, please do share.

    Mods put in a MBFC bot, everyone saw how shitty and biased it was and rallied against it, mods tried to say the admins forced them to do it, the admins said they didn’t, mods refused to change it despite all that. Eventually after like 6 months of sustained community outrage they got rid of it.
