Because it will say very mild things about any mouthpiece of the Anglo Empire but every media outlet based on an anti imperialist country is evil and can’t be trusted. More so, it’s stupid, everything has a bias, I’ve read interesting and sensible takes from right wing outlets and the other way around, it’s just how it’s framed and how it’s told. You need to use your brain and read through the Imperialese in order to understand the key point, not to go to this shitty website and totally negate everything a newspaper has published because it says it’s right wing whatever or ultra leftist extremism.
But it is an explanation. People use mbfc as a way to simply wrap themselves in a blanket, to excuse or feel ok about ignoring anything that feels “icky”, rather than actually taking the time to read through multiple sides and sources to sift through the biased language most media platforms use, whether it’s left right center up down or what-have-you.
It’s basically a time-saving ignorance shield for the vast majority of people who don’t really care to put the work in. Subtlety and nuance is lost in convenience.

Thanks, but that’s not really an example.
