I love your site, and as an instructor (Sociology) have used it to show my students how to fact check and know whether the stories they are reading (and the sources they are using) are reliable. I understand that you need to support the site with ads, HOWEVER… given the nature of the site, I would think you would filter the type of ads that appear on your site as they are corrupting the purpose of your site. Checking the site today the first ad that appeared on the Home Page was a download link (potentially a phishing/malware link) for “Searches Central” which was right below where you instructed people how to search to “check bias of any source.” The huge, green “Continue” button could easily be mistaken by user to think that clicking that button is how you use your site. This is terribly deceptive advertising, and having such an ad on your site reflects poorly on you.
In addition, the fact check page had an ad for an expose on “Clinton Corruption,” which is quite obviously a biased propaganda piece. Having the ad on your site could easily be construed to be an MBFC endorsement of that propaganda piece.
It seems to me that these kind of advertisers decrease your credibility as a reliable place to come and look for fact checking and media bias analysis. Is there not some way that you can filter out ads which would run counter to your core purpose?
