Left vs. Right Bias: How we rate the bias of media sources
Any chance that there could be more daily posts? Six is small considering just how many ridiculous claims are being made. Also, a widget that could be installed on blogs (WordPress) and other sites would be very useful so that other site visitors could see the latest fact-checks. Educating the ignorant public is a thankless job, and there is a long, long road ahead. Keep up the good work!
