CDZ mediabiasfactcheck.com - is it biased, and if so, in what ways?

[phoenyx]

It seems every time I put up an article, someone here at USMB posts an article saying that mediabiasfactcheck doesn't like them. Don't get me wrong, mediabiasfactcheck does seem to have -some- points right, but there's also a lot I don't like about mediabiasfactcheck as well. Here are 3 articles that I've found that don't think so highly of the site, to varying degrees:

I've read the most of the first linked article, but the others seem to have some good points. Anyway, I'd be interested in what others have to say (in a civilized way).

I suspect you're right. I also think that they can be right on -some- issues, but not on others.

once they leave dry facts and start judging narratives and give their opinion, which all now mostly do, they cease to become reliable.
