It is a fact that water changes it’s state of matter at 32 degrees in standard earth atmospheric pressure. That is a fact no one can argue it, it is testable and reproducible. What that site offers is not facts.
I shouldn't have to tell you that measuring the bias of a news website, or fact checking statements made by politicians is almost never that simple. If you're really that clueless, look at exactly what that website does and imagine how you would go about doing it.
I have imagined how I would do that many times, and actually done a bit of it when I wanted to know if something was true, I ignore the opinion of what is said and just look to verify facts generally. I don't think its as hard as you think it is.
Also come on man, we are always respectful to each other you know I'm not clueless ;)
Part of checking the bias of news sites is assessing clearly biased language - so you can't just ignore the opinion of what's said without ignoring an obvious source of bias.
As for the facts, you can why Fox News gets a mixed factual rating, and follow up on other sources and particular untrue statements.
So if it's so easy, where is your objective media bias rating site?
I have, many times, its why I don't trust fox news. Or CNN. or PBS, or Drudge report or really almost any news agency I try to expose myself to both sides of the spectrum and I encourage others to do the same.
Look this particular thing I'm questioning has nothing to do with politics. My point is there isn't an objective media bias rating site, it doesn't exist, I don't know if it can exist because everyone has a bias.
You have to investigate each claim yourself and decide for yourself. I wish there was a short cut I really do but I haven't found one, if I do I'll be sure to give you a heads up because I'm guessing you'll be able to tell me why its bullshit and I'll continue the search.
