Guess I’ll have to reconsider trusting mediabiasfactcheck. Going to carefully read their analysis and factcheck later on when I have time. That particular article doesn’t seem like misinfo to me.

You shouldn’t just “trust the site” for any news source in general, that is the opposite of critical thinking.
