Hi. I have a suggestion:

Try to make it more clear that this is not a flawless rating (as that is impossible).

Ways to implement:

  • Make sure the bot says something along the lines of “MBFC rates X news as Y” and not “X news is Y”.
  • Make a caveat (collapsable) at the bottom, that says something along the lines of “MBFC is not flawless. It has an american-centric bias, is not particularly clear on methodology, to the point where wikipedia deems it unreliable; however, we think it is better to have this bot in place as a rough estimate, to discourage posting from bad sources”
  • If possible, add other sources, Like: “MBFC rates the Daily Beast as mostly reliable, Ad Fontes Media rates it as unreliable, and Wikipedia says it is of mixed reliability”
  • Remove the left right ratings. We already have a reliability and quality rating, which is much more useful. The left-right rating is frankly poorly done and all over the place, and honestly doesn’t serve much purpose.

Yep. Even Rommel was murdered (forced suicide).

Ad fontes is a little more reasonable but still closed door not very trustworthy

MBFC is a joke honestly. How can the internet archive be left center.

They’ve set left center as the default.
