You have not done any "legwork" to discredit MBFC. Your personal opinion is that the owner/author doesn't have appropriate credentials/experience, but you haven't actually demonstrated that he is not credible.
A person without credentials, without experience, and without any evidence to prove that their claimed credentials or experience are legitimate... Is a credible source?
Can you find any evidence, any at all that the person actually has the credentials that they themselves claim? This is trivial to do for pretty much any modern journalist, but I've been able to find zero information on him.
Nope, you are making the claim that the information presented on MBFC is not credible, it is up to you to substantiate that claim. Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Your claim is that... Credibility exists unless disproven? Consider that for a minute.
Nope, my claim is that you haven't substantiated your claim with anything more than your own personal opinion. And look at that, my claim is supported by all of your comments continuously failing to present anything more than your personal opinion. QED.
Get some sources. Or get quiet.
"[MBFC's] subjective assessments leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in. Compared to Gentzkow and Shapiro, the five to 20 stories typically judged on these sites represent but a drop of mainstream news outlets’ production." - Columbia Journalism Review
"Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific." - PolitiFact journalists
Journalists seem to agree with me, which you'd know if you actually read "all of my comments." This isn't the first time I've posted these quotes in this thread.
Link the direct sources you're quoting from. I won't go hunting for you.
Cool.
