Looks more like you posted a garbage source?
edit - for example. Do you consider Fox News to report a balanced view? Or GBNews? Zerohedge?
Thecradle seems like a fine source, even MBFC doesn't actually have arguments against it other than "left leaning".
"Balanced" is some bullshit American view of media that isn't related to factuallity.
For what it's worth, English Wikipedia editors reached a consensus to deprecate (ban) it for unrealiability last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_424#RFC:_The_Cradle
The following notes are present:
Well, there's a whole horde of people seeking to discredit Wikipedia as well, whining as loud as they can about its bias in one direction or another.
It's information warfare, and it's pretty exhausting. And it's impossible to tell who has ulterior motives and who's just a moron. Creds to the Lemmy.world crowd for putting up with it at all.
Of course this media fact checking site is not perfect. But if your conspiracy revolves around every single well-reputed news source in the world refusing to communicate the truth... Maybe check yourself.
