    Dave M. Van Zandt has no academic media literacy qualifications. He’s not a social scientist. He should not be running a site that is being used to censor news feeds.

    He admits that his system for judging ‘bias’ is pseudoscience, but at the same time claims that MBFC’s purpose is to debunk pseudoscience. He appears to have no idea what science is. His methods for rating credibility are not public, repeatable, or by his own admission falsifiable.

    He is actively harming media diversity and LW should be ashamed for taking this charlatan seriously.

        methodologies used to measure each publications bias are listed on each page.

        What do you think methodology means in the context of science?
