The website for the factual check is a bit shady in my opinion.
For example the guardian from UK is mixed because of “many failed fact checks over the last 5 years” I could only find 5 linked there and if that is all failed checks then it is still very good.
Then I looked at a news paper I know is the worst. BILD from Germany. It is also mixed. There was only one failed fact check linked and I don’t think the analysis which leads to the conclusion is transparent enough.
So we have a relatively good news paper from UK and a lying shit of paper from Germany and both are mixed. If mixed has this much variance it doesn’t mean anything.
My favourite is the BBC bias rating analysis . Pretty blatantly feels based with no elaboration given as to how it was determined to have 'biased story selection '. Everything written in the analysis is apparently completely irrelevant to the final rating.
Ok I wanted to see what are we dealing with here.

When reading through the few examples I got the hard feeling that left news were much more harshly checked than right news.
This proofs that.
