I caution the use of this site and sites like it. Not to say that they are useless. Only that they shouldn’t be seen as totally neutral arbiters of fact and bias, but rather biased actors themselves. Which isn’t to say that the information is without value, only that one should look at their information with that reality in mind. This particular site is very definitely coming from a bias towards American establishment politics. Actually open up some of their fact checks and read what they have to say and you will get what I’m saying.
